10* DIVISION TOTAL OF MONTH: 83-53 NHL YTD!
(NHL) Sabres (BUF) vs. Red Wings (DET),
Total: 6.50 | 100.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* ATLANTIC DIVISION TOM on the OVER Sabres/Wings.

Buffalo is in eighth and Detroit is in seventh. The Wings are 30-28, but they come in desperate to snap a six-game slide.

They beat the Sabres 6-5 in a shootout in Buffalo back in early December, and I'm expecting a similar final combined score here as well.

Note that Buffalo has seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge a divisional home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent.

The Sabres are 25-32 after snapping a six-game slide with a quality 3-2 win over Edmonton.

With each team pushing the pace like I believe it will here, everything points to this total flying OVER the number well before the final horn sounds.

Good luck, NP
