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 Over/Under ATS statistics:

Note that New York has seen the total go UNDER the number in nine of 12 this year when playing with two days of rest and in 12 of 21 following a divisional contest, while Anaheim has seen the total dip below the posted number in 12 of 20 home games when the total in the contest is set at 5 and in 11 of 20 non-conference games.

The bottom line: New York has lost two straight, while Anaheim has dropped three of its last four. These two playoff bound teams will be looking to shore up some shoddy play of late and we anticipate this focus to translate into a classic lower-scoring battle which will have a playoff like atmosphere surrounding it. Play on the UNDER.
