Why does everyone like the Wild and Blue Jackets tonight?

Blues and Sharks have been disappointing this year, but I think San Jose starts to pick it up somepoint soon. They are too talented not too.

i would only play c-bus on the +1.5. if you wanna play the sharks at -170/-175, then that is your prerogative. s.j. is a .500 team at home, while minny is above .500, getting +150/+155. i like minny enough in this spot to take a stab at it.

away teams have been winning far far too much lately, this has to change sooner or later i'm thinking

well no, it is based on my math system. i make the plays blindly. i am just looking for reasons to feel confident in the plays because everyone else likes minny and columbus

a team that is 12-12 at home is a .500 team. -170 is indicative that they win this game 63% of the time. correct? they have not proven that they can win at home at a rate of 63%, so i would not play them. not only that, but minnesota is on a 3-game win streak. why screw with a team on a win streak like that? especially at -170. i think the best play in this game is on the wild, +1.5. i have been known to be wrong. i just don't like to see fellows laying that kind of juice, especially on teams that haven't proven that they deserve to be such overwhelming favorites. if you play this, i sincerely hope it works out for you.

The home team has won both meetings between Columbus/St. Louis this season. I will go with the home team winning again tonight and take the Blues ML.
