Can anyone talk me out of playing Buffalo -1.5???
In Buffalo's 40 wins 20 or 50% have been by 2 or more goals at 3.00(+200) I think that's a fantastic value. Ottawa's wins by 2 or more goals are 21 or 53.8% out of 39 wins. Higher percentage for Ottawa, but then there is the flip side.
On the flip side Ottawa has had 25 or 69% of their losses by 2 or more goals, where Buffalo losses by 2 or more goals is 14 out of 32 or 43.75%. Interesting side note the majority of Ottawa's losses were exactly by 3 goals. 15 out of 36 losses.
Buffalo has more points with less games. 74 to 72 games played and a better home record than Ottawa (22-9-2-4 vs 15-20-0-1)
Buffalo outshoots Ottawa, has a higher Goals For and a lower Goals Against.
Buffalo is higher in the standings, but I think they would like to stay that way.
Having said that Ottawa is 7-1 last 8 in Buffalo. I still think Buffalo -1.5 looks like great value.

I think 3 way tie is worth a shot, too. Good suggestion, FC.
One absurd moosing after another in pucks.

Time to take a hockey sabbatical until the playoffs for me.
