This is an 8* play on the UNDER between the Colorado Avalanche and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

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 primarily on strong and relevant O/U ATS statistics:

Note that Colorado has seen the total go UNDER the number in 37 of its last 68 against teams with winning records, while Pittsburgh has seen the total go UNDER in 35 of its last 56 non-conference games and in 25 of its last 45 home games where the total is set at 5.5.

The bottom line: These teams have already played to some pretty high-scoring affairs, but the numbers point the other way this evening, play on the UNDER.
