This is a 10* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Blackhawks.

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 strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Buffalo is just 3-8 (-5.6 units) this season when playing on two days rest, while Chicago 8-6 (+1.4 units) in non-conference games and 4-2 (+1.7 units) after allowing four goals or more.

The bottom line: Chicago is a mess, it's lost five straight and its just 12-11-4 on the year overall. It's still 6-5-2 at home though. Buffalo's just 7-17-3 on the year, including only 4-8-3 on the road. The Sabres come off a highly satisfying 4-2 win at Colorado, breaking a four-game slide, but we think they have an immediate return to mediocrity here. The numbers and the conditions both favor the Blackhawks and it makes this a price that we have no issues at all in laying. Play on CHICAGO.
