This is a 10* COAST-TO-COAST TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers.
We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based entirely on strong and relevant ATS statistics:
Note that New York has seen the total go UNDER the number in 12 of 20 following a non-conference game and in six of eight after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERs, while Edmonton has seen the total sail above the posted number in nine of 16 this season after three or more consecutive losses, and in two of three after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERs.
The bottom line: Edmonton is out for revenge here, we look for both teams to push the pace and when taking into account these extremely strong and relevant OVER trends, all signs do indeed point to the higher number as the savvy move in this contest.
