This is 10* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the LA Kings.

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 the Kings are 11-6 (+5.2 units) in revenging a loss against an opponent this season.

The bottom line: Las Vegas has defied the odds and will head into its mid-way point as a legitimate playoff contender. The Golden Knights are a good team, but there's no way we can classify them as a "great" team at this point. Vegas comes in off a very satisfying 4-1 win in Anaheim just last night though and we think it'll suffer a predictable letdown here. And with a high-profile New Years Eve game at home against the Leafs, it's not too hard to imagine the visitors getting caught looking ahead here as well. The Kings on the other hand are rested, having had four whole nights off. They play with revenge after falling to the Knights 4-2 in mid November. This is also the final home game before an extended trip, putting added emphasis on "getting the job done" tonight. When you add it all up, we believe this line could/should in fact be a lot larger and in our professional opinion, this is indeed the very definition of "great line value." Play on the KINGS.
