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 Carolina is just 5-10 (-7 units) in non-conference games this season, while Las Vegas is 9-6 (+3.8 units) this year after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest and 7-5 (+3.3 units) against clubs with losing records.

The bottom line: The Hurricanes come in off a disheartening 3-2 loss in Anaheim just last night and we think they look primed for a letdown here. And with two whole nights off before a much more "winnable" game at Buffalo, we also believe the visitors get caught looking ahead. Vegas probably isn't as good as its overall record would indicate, but it's coming in off four straight victories and is 11-2 at home. With a date againt the defending champs on Thursday, we expect the GOLDEN KNIGHTS to risk life and limb tonight to keep their dominant home streak alive. All things considered, a great price.
