Sure is dead in here today, esp for such a large plate of games. Cotes, Stars, Rustie, etc, where ya'll at?

**Kpn** · 03-05-13, 06:21 PM

I think it's getting to that part of the season where there is more consensus, not much disagreement today so we'll see how it turns out.

**rustie** · 03-05-13, 06:36 PM

Hey guys went 2-2 yesterday small -$ loss

Try again today with these

Columbus Ml -- Clb sees to be hanging in with teams lately thinking they will here
Chicago under 1.877 -- pretty good odds I feel for a team as defensive as Chicago
Chicago -1 -- Too much juice with just Ml and with a low scoring game I'll take the safety of -1
Boston under --Boston a good defensive team as well, Washington you never know ?
Winnipeg over -- Winnipeg 2 days rest ,Florida team injuries & they aren't that solid in net.

Like the picks Huck ,best of luck everyone, Cheers

I just don't see why there are 4 different money line spreads. In the ML column, I know the last two lines (+290 & -350) are referring to the line on whether the game goes to OT or not. What I dont understand is what the previous 4 lines in that column are referring to (-125, +105, -130, +110). I get that the negative lines are for the oilers but why is there a ML of -125 and -130 for them. The -130 seems to line up with the Oilers in regulation but if that's the case and I pick them to win, wouldn't I just bet the -.5 regulation line with a +126 payout?

I see what you're saying about the end of reg ML and it having worse odds. Dunno, never bet that option

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-05-13, 07:26 PM

Oilers and Blue Jackets need to slow their roll!

**rustie** · 03-05-13, 07:32 PM

Boston and Montreal off to a good start for you cotes

**Kpn** · 03-05-13, 07:43 PM

Columbus oilers game looks like it's going a to break a few parlays of mine, how unfortunate.

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-05-13, 09:56 PM

what an awful day. i don't know how you cap two of the worst scoring teams in the league going over 5.5 but my goodness. And Jets are my new Flyers, so inconsistent it's sad. Only a few games tomorrow, looking to go big on some plays. Tonight was a shyt show.

**Kpn** · 03-05-13, 10:36 PM

Just awful, I can only salvage this day if Vancouver and LA both win otherwise I'll be a bad spot.

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-05-13, 11:03 PM

may put down a good chunk of my bankroll tomorrow on Chicago. Both teams coming off a B2B but Chicagos will both be at home, avs both on the road and have not been able to score. Gonna be a big bet (for me lol)

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-05-13, 11:08 PM

i refuse to post anymore official picks until phillyflyers makes his. i swear he jinxed me today

Ugh buried by Canucks losing in shootout, I just needed that the other way and 2 big parlays would have hit (Chi + LA + Van). Gotta build back now

I know I thought a miracle was brewing then Vancouver shits the bed collapsing my house of cards.

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-06-13, 09:16 AM

Well Kings saved my night last night. Still negative but not NEARLY as bad as it coulda been.

Official Picks for 3/5/2013:

Canadiens @ Islanders, Canadiens Over 2.5 (-130) - One of the leagues best O's vs one of the leagues worst Ds. Islanders allowing 3.4 a game while the Canadiens are averaging 3 a game. I'm taking the Canadiens over 2.5 goals.

Jets @ Panthers, Jets Over 2.5 (-125) - The Panthers have allowed less than 3 goals only 4 times all year. The Panthers roster is quite depleted and this will be their 3rd game in 4 days. Before their unusual shut-out loss at home to the Caps, the Jets had scored 3 goals in 5 straight games. I think the Jets were pretty fatigued from a long road trip and decided not to show up. They have had two days rest now and I think they will be good to go.

Jets @ Panthers, Jets -.5 (+136) - See above. Also, the Jets seem to be more comfortable on the road for some reason. I'm tempted to take the PL here but I will for sure be taking the -.5 in reg.

Oilers @ Blue Jackets, Under 5.5 (-145) - Two teams that really have trouble scoring. Yest the last several Oilers games have gone over but that's because they have been giving up goals (8 in the last two games). I don't see them getting scored on 4 times by the Blue Jackets. I also don't see them scoring much as I think this will be a Defensive battle. Thinking a 2-1 3-1 type of game, maybe even a 3-2. Taking the under here.

Blues @ Kings, Over 5 (even) - Really like the value here. Out of the last 20 B2B games, the total has been 5 or more 19 times! Both of these teams have the potential to put up some goals, and Kings games have gone over 5 goals in 4 of their last 5 games. Also, with teams on the 2nd end of a B2B with both games being at home, the second game has hit 5 goals or more 10 out of 12 times. Like the Over here. However, If Halak is starting I may reconsider.

Blues @ Kings, Kings ML (-130) - Kings are playing very well right now, especially at home. In B2B home games where the home team has won the first game, they have won the second game 10/12 times. I think the Kings are the better team and will take care of the Blues tonight.

Parlay:Oilers @ Blue Jackets, Under 5.5
Canadiens @ Islanders, Canadiens Over 2.5
Jets @ Panthers, Jets Over 2.5
Blues @ Kings, Over 5

Overall 3-4 on the night and -1.87 units (need to lay off the parlays lol) but lost $. Thank goodness the Kings came through. That was a spreadsheet pick, glad it went the way the odds I had indicated.

5Dimes:
Overall Record: 9-6-0
Starting Bankroll: $100.00
Current Bankroll: $128.25
Profit/Loss: +2.83 units

Breakdown:
Team Totals: 4-1-0
Team Reg (-.5): 3-1-0
Over/Under: 1-1-0
Team ML: 1-0-0
1P,2P,3P Totals: 0-1-0
Parlays: 0-2-0

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-06-13, 10:01 AM

1st Lean:

Coyotes @ Ducks, Ducks Over 2.5 (-145) - Has happened the previous two games against the Yotes, and has happened in 6 of their last 7 games, and 6 of their last 7 home games. Like the chances here.

Edit* Coyotes @ Ducks, Over 5.5 (+110) - This line seems fishy to me. Their last two meetings have gone over, pretty easily. 5 of the last 6 Ducks games have gone over while all 5 of the Yotes last games have gone Over. Why is this line not -110? Can anyone tell me?

Edit* - Removed the Ducks ML lean. Not touching the result on this one.

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-06-13, 10:12 AM

2nd Lean:

Senators @ Maple Leafs, Maple Leafs ML (-145) - The Leafs are by no means a great Home team, but the Senators have lost 3 straight and are a mere 3-8 on the road this season, and two of those came during the first week of play. They are 1-8 on the road in their last 9. The Leafs won the last matchup at home and I look for them to win this one as well. (Will likely switch to taking them in reg for a better line)

Senators @ Maple Leafs, Senators Under (-135) - The Senators have scored 6 goals in their last 4 games. The last time they scored 3 was against the Leafs but it was at home. The Senators have scored less than 3 goals in their last 8 road games. I like the odds here.

Coyotes @ Ducks, Ducks ML (-155) - Ducks are much better at home and surely have to be bitter after 2 losses in a row to the Yotes. I expect them to come out strong here. However, this is a small lean because I don't feel very comfortable with the juice. -150 for a team who just lost twice in a row to the same opponent makes me a bit nervous.

I like the Ducks over 2.5. That is weird that Ana has so low odds. I made a promise that I wont pick Ana if Hiller is in goal. according to Dailyfaceoff.com Fasth should be in the net.. But still. Phoenix with +126 ml doesent sound too bad..Could they win three times in a row?

Thats what makes me nervous about it. The Ducks are great at home but the Yotes seem to have their number. I will likely lay off this bet.

I removed that pick and replaced it with the Over.

Haha posted my picks and saw your post. I think +105 is great value to the over 5.5 game.

**Huckleberry Pig** · 03-06-13, 10:32 AM

3rd lean:

Avalanche @ Blackhawks, Blackhawks PL (+140) - Both teams are on a B2B but the Blackhawks last game was at home, so no travel for them. They also have not lost a B2B all year, but only one has come by more than one goal. Infact, every other game went to OT or SO. However, they weren't playing against a team also on a B2B. Avs have really had trouble scoring lately and I don't think they will much here. Like the Blackhawks big. (may wait to see what the reg. line is before I take the PL).

Avalanche @ Blackhawks, Avalanche Under 2.5 (-155) - Some juice here, but this is the best defensive team in the league going against a team that is very much struggling on offense. I just don't see the Avs scoring much here, esp since they will likely be tired from last night.
