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 Detroit is still just 11-15 (-3.8 units) in its last 26 after playing three consecutive road games, while Calgary is 33-28 (+10.4 units) in its last 61 after a loss by two goals or more in its previous game (including 3-1, +2 units this year.)

The bottom line: A great situational/spot bet in our opinion. Detroit has played six of its last seven games on the road and enters it final game of the trip having won two straight, most recently a 3-2 win at Vancouver. There's no doubt that this sets up as a letdown for the visitors today. Calgary had its three game win streak snapped in a loss to Vancouver last time out, but enjoys a couple nights off before a game at home against St. Louis on Monday. All signs point to a comfortable home victory, play on the FLAMES.
