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 primarily on common sense and strong/relative ATS statistics:

As note that Chicago is 4-2 (+1.2 units) this year already when playing with two days rest, while Washington is just 3-5 (-2.3 units) this season after a win by two goals or more.

The bottom line: We had a 10* play on Washington in its most recent 4-1 win over San Jose. Washington has turned the corner now, having won six of its last seven. The Hawks though clearly can't be happy, as they come to the nation's capital having lost four straight. Chicago lost to Washington 6-0 in these team's most recent matchup last year, so it also plays with revenge. We think the stage is set for the slight upset here, as we look for the hungry BLACKHAWKS to get off the schneid with a quality victory.
