Considering a large play on Avalanche ML +120 vs Chicago

I"m betting AVS too because they are young and motivated, but I wouldn't suggest a "huge" play. Teams are often lackluster in their 1st home game after a long road trip.

Personally I think the Hawks humble the Avs tomorrow.

Easy to win on the road with no pressure or expectations. First home game of the year for the Avs and suddenly high expectations from fans could = fail.

Don't trust me though I keep fading the Avs and losing

They won every game on the roadtrip. Avs chemistry and team morale couldn't be higher, you know their house is going to be roaring, I think the Avs continue their hot play, even against a tough opponent like the Hawks.

I See this line moving to +105 to +115 range by gametime

Winning every game on the road trip could work the opposite way too b/c they might be feeling too good about themselves. On road trips teams are more focused..when they get home they resume their lives and relax etc.

this is a first of a home and home?

I could see a possible OV play here.

I like this play! might consider it myself! but i got lots of other games on my mind that like more then Col.

They beat Boston, Columbus, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. 4 of those 5 teams are bottom tier and 4 of the 5 games were won by one goal. Chicago deserves to be favoured.

i am scared of chicago. they made the coyotes look like little fuckups. GL.

It's tough I can only come up with a one goal game going either way on this

colorados looked good so far this year- i watched two of their games and we can all see their record.

chicago struggled out of the gate but put on a great show last night...
i may have started to mark down chicago a little early- they are still offensively imposing.

i am surprised to see so many people agreeing with this play...but im one of them i guess.

I have a very slight lean in favor of Colorado. Also a slight lean on the under. Varlamov and Crawford should be a good one.
