Have been playing around with a bit of a concept, will post some picks and see how it goes. Basically just using some stuff to predict the score, then betting whichever lines are least correct.
Jan 24:
Columbus NYIslanders: draw in regulation +295
Blues Penguins Over 6.5 +140
Capitals Senators Over 6.5 +220
Calling it now the preds were sandbaging all season but will now prove their might and win the playoffs without dropping a single game. No other team can stand against them.
I'm really tempted to lay a huge price on the Penguins to beat Ottawa...-300 is huge but I don't see how Ottawa wins 3 games let alone the 4 they would need to.
Obviously not...but I'm thinking of the Preds for Game 6. So tough in Nashville will be hard for the Penguins to close them out. Waiting to see what the number is...
tough run out for Preds - they were the Cinderella that the NHL loves so they can get non-core fans on-board for the playoffs, but the truth is that coaching (and some injury issues) were just too much to get over.
