Home opener for Columbus against Nashville, a team they stuggled against over the last few years. Predators have won 15 of the last 16 games. You have 60 % of the action on Nashville tonight basically because of Nashville record against Columbus. However this is a new era for both franchise. Columbus is a franchise on the rise while the Predators are dealing with major losses of key players going into the 2008-2009 season.
We have new teams this year. Most of the action is on Nashville but line is moving Columbus way anyway. You can still got Columbus at a discount at many books. Nashville is starting rookie Pekka Rinne tonight. Big center Jason Arnott remains out.
I like Columbus here with the crowd factor and Nashville goaltending situation. Jackets should be (-140, -145) here. Columbus also hungry to stop problems against Nashville.
Columbus (-125)
