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 is just 3-6 (-3.9 units) this year when playing with three or more days rest, while Pittsburgh is 6-2 (+3.2 units) in the same position.

The bottom line: Nashville owns the No. 1 defense in the playoffs and the Pens sport the No. 1 offense. They say "defense wins champions," but we've always thought that that addage has pertained more to the gridrion than to either the hardwood or on the ice. We think rest leads to rust for the visitors and expect the defending champs to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Play on PITTSBURGH.
