This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Nashville Predators.

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 Nashville is already 6-5 (+1 unit) this year in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent and 7-3 (+3.4 unit) after allowing four goals or more (Preds lost 4-3 in a shootout to Vegas last time. Nashville has had four whole days off since that game and plays with revenge after falling to Vancouver 5-3 back on November 30th), while Vancouver is just 6-11 (-3.1 units) this season against clubs with winning records.

The bottom line: With a tough game at suddenly surging Edmonton tomorrow night, the Predators can't afford to "look past" this opportunity. The Canucks have been better than most thought they'd be this year, but they're still just 5-6-2 at home this season. Vancouver has lost three straight and will be desperate itself, but we think the rested and focused PREDATORS find a way to get the job done at the end of the night.
