This is an 8* TOTAL EXPRESS on the UNDER between the Montreal Canadiens and 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 primarily on strong/relevant O/U ATS statistics:

As note that Montreal has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of 17 against teams with losing records this season and in seven of 11 after allowing four goals or more, while Detroit has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of six after a win by two goals ormore and in three of four this year after playing to three or more consecutive OVERs.

The bottom line: We think the writing is on the wall and a lower-scoring battle is in the cards. Play the UNDER.
