This is a 10* WEST-COAST EXPRESS on the Chicago Blackhawks.
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 on a few different factors:
Desperation breeds motivation: The Blackhawks made a bunch of different moves at the trade deadline in hopes to bolster their line-up and make another serious run at the Stanley Cup, but so far they have not paid off as the team comes into this one having lost four straight. Chicago will also be without starting goaltender Corey Crawford tonight. None of this matters in our opinion, the Jets are already looking forward to the offseason and we fully expect the Hawks to risk life and limb today as they try to break the losing streak and get back on track as the playoffs approach.: "We're headed into a stretch here where we've got 11 games left and we've lost four in a row," said Patrick Kane last night. "Obviously, not the stretch we want. I don't want to say it's panic time, but at the same time we have to shore things up before playoffs come into play here."
ATS statistics: Note that Chicago is 23-6 (+16.6 units) this season after a non-conference game and 22-10 (+6.8 units) vs. teams with losing records, while Winnipeg is just 10-16 (-4.1 units) vs. division opponents this year and 13-20 (-5.6 units) in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent.
The bottom line: All things considered, we feel this is an awesome price. Play on the BLACKHAWKS.
