We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS trends:

As note that San Jose is 6-2 (+3.8 units) this year after scoring one goal or less, while Vancouver is just 7-14 (-1.6 units) this year against teams with winning records.

The bottom line: Vancouver ranks near the bottom of the league in both offense and defense. We're expecting the Sharks to make the most of this opportunity as the numbers do indeed point to SAN JOSE as the savvy move in this particular matchup.
