This is a 6* play on the Anaheim Ducks.
We don't subscribe to any one 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 a bunch of 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. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
Momentum: After a slow start to the year, Anaheim is now 29-19-8. The Ducks have been surging on the road as well, they'll be looking for a season high fourth-straight road win, while handing the Canucks their first six-game home losing skid in seven years: "We've been putting some good wins together," said Ducks' goaltender Frederik Andersen, who most recently made 24 saves to help his team improve to 9-1-3 in its last 13 away from home. "We've been taking good strides toward being a top team in this division." The Ducks have averaged 4.1 goals during a 7-1-1 road stretch, going five for ten on the power play in their last three games.
Revenge: The Ducks get a golden chance today to avenge dual 2-1 shootout losses to the Canucks this season.
Inept homeside: Vancouver has totalled just seven goals during an 0-4-1 stretch in front of the home town crowd.
ATS statistics: Note that Anaheim is 57-37 (+12.4 units) the last three seasons in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent, while Vancouver is just 8-17 (-8.2 units) this season vs. teams with winning records.
The bottom line: No need to overanalyze this one in our opinion, ANAHEIM comes in focused and kicks this struggling Canucks team while it's down.
