10* UNDER Leafs/Sabres (10* Atlantic DIV GOY)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but we're expecting a much tighter and ultimately lower-scoring battle here finally in Buffalo between these Atlantic division rivals. Toronto has seen the total go "over" the number in five straight, which is signficant for us to take note of, because the Leafs have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of their last ten after playing to five or more straight "overs" in a row. Toronto also plays with revenge here afer a 6-4 home loss to the Sabres back in early November, which is also important for us to take note of here because the Leafs have seen the total go "under" the number in three of their last four in trying to avenge a divisional road loss vs. an opponent. Off a 9-4 home loss to Columbus last time out and off B2B losses in a row, we can expect Buffalo to double down on the defensive end here. The overall situation combined with the numbers/trends all point to a lower-scoring "under!"
