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 Detroit is just 1-2 (-1 unit) in its last three when playing on back-to-back days, while Carolina is 23-18 (+5.1 units) this season in trying ot revenge a loss against an opponent and 6-3 (+1.5 units) after playing three consecutive road games.

The bottom line: This is the second game of a three game in three night scenario for the Wings. Last night they won in OT in Minneosta. It was Detroit's third straight OT game, an exhausting stretch which has seen them go 2-1. And with another game tomorrow night in Carolina, we definitely feel that tonight's contest sets up as a classic letdown/lookahead spot. Carolina comes in with a ton of momentum itself having now won three straight, most recently a 3-1 victory over New Jersey on Saturday. We look for CAROLINA to take full advantage of this spot and to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
