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 always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Nashville has seen the total go OVER the number in five of seven this year when playing with three or more days rest, while Anaheim has seen the total go OVER the number in 15 of its last 25 home games when the total in the contest is set at five or less.

The bottom line: Nashville has been downright dominant in the playoffs, especially on the defensive end (ranked No. 1, allowing 1.64 GPG in the postseason). The Ducks have allowed 3 GPG, but they've also averaged 3.3 GPG. Nashville is going to have some opportunities today and the home side will be forced to match pace. All signs point to a higher-scoring OVER in Game 1.
