This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION 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 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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.
This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:
As note that Anaheim is in fact just 1-3 (-2.1 units) in its last four after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest, while Chicago is 2-1 (+1.2 units) in its last three after scoring five goals or more in its last contest.
The bottom line: We think the Ducks are primed for a letdown here. Anaheim is just 13-14-6 on the road this year, while Chicago is 22-8-3 at home. The Ducks are coming off a hugely satisfying 4-3 OT win at home over Nashville, a game which they had no right in winning, but still somehow managed the miracle victory. Also note that Anaheim has been trading wins and losses over its last eight games. This line could easily be a lot higher, play on CHICAGO.
