Point Spread: -1.50 | -105.00 New Jersey (Home)
Result: Loss
ASA NHL PLAY ON 8* New Jersey Devils Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over Philadelphia Flyers, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - Devils off 3 straight losses and will be angry here against a division rival.  Remember New Jersey had won 21 of 27 games before this tough stretch.  The Flyers have lost 16 of last 18 games!  Philly's last 3 losses all by a single goal but this followed 9 of last 14 defeats by at least a 2-goal margin.  Tough scheduling spot for Philadelphia as they are just back from a road trip out west too.  This one shapes up to be a complete mismatch which is, of course, the reason the Devils are 3 to 1 favorites on the money line.  The value comes into play here by laying the 1.5 goals on the puck line and only having to lay a very fair price in the pick'em range as a result.  Home team in a blowout per our computer math model.  Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite New Jersey is the value play here.
