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 LA has seen the total go UNDER the number in 14 of 18 road games this year where the ottal is five or less, while Minnesota has seen the total go UNDER in six of ten after playing three consecutive road games.

The bottom line: These are two of the top defenses going head to head and each has been receiving incredible goaltending of late. Play the UNDER.
