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 on a few different factors:

As note that Washington is just 7-9 ATS so far in the second half of the season and only 1-2 ATS in its last three on the road, while Minnesota is 4-1 ATS this month overall and 17-9 ATS this season against good offensive teams which score 106 points per game.

The bottom line: Not only do we think this one sets up great for the Wolves from a trend based stand point, but we also think the situation favors them as well. Washington has won five straight, including four straight on the road and two straight in overtime. This is the final game of the trip and all signs point to a classic letdown here. Minnesota is playing its best ball of the year, having won six of its last ten, but it comes in off a tough 102-95 loss in Milwaukee. All signs point to a comfortable cover for MINNESOTA.
