GAME: Edmonton Oilers @ Columbus Blue Jackets Jan 17, 2012 7:00PM
SPORT: National Hockey League Picks
PICK: Columbus Blue Jackets
Offered at: -115 TopBet
Not exactly a clash of the titans here. The Oilers are in 13th in the West, 13 points back of the 8th place team. The Blue Jackets have been even worse. In fact, not only are they 15th (out of 15) in the West, they've got the fewest points in the entire league.
Both teams should view this as an opportunity to pick up a rare victory. With this game being played at Columbus, I expect the Jackets to have the advantage.
The Oilers won this season's lone earlier meeting, a 6-3 victory back in early December. That came at Edmonton though. The Jackets are now 0-3 their last three visits there and 5-15 their last 20.
Recent games at Columbus have been a different story. In fact, the Jackets are a perfect 4-0 when hosting the Oilers, since the start of 2009. The Jackets were laying a minimum of -155 (and as much as -220) for those games. We're getting them at a far more reasonable price here. I feel that's providing us with solid value. Consider a play on Columbus.
