This is a 10* SIDE OF THE MONTH on the Detroit Red Wings.

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 numerous 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. 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 common sense.

We're primarily a situationally based handicapping service and there's no question that this one sets up perfectly for us. And the price is definitely fantastic considering how motivated Detroit will be here. The Wings have opened the season with two straight losses, a 6-4 setback at Tampa Bay, followed by a 4-1 loss in Florida. Now Detroit returns home in a foul mood and looking to take out their frustrations on the Senators.

Ottawa on the other hand comes in contented after its 2-0 start. First the Sens beat the Leafs 5-4 in OT on opening night, then they held on for a 4-3 shootout victory over the rival Habs three nights later. Now the team hits the road for the first time this season and will try to not get caught "looking ahead" to its game at home against the Coyotes tomorrow night.

The bottom line: The stage is set for a convincing lop-sided victory from wire-to-wire. Play on the RED WINGS.
