This is a 10* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Calgary Flames.

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 O/U ATS statistic and common sense:

As note that Chicago has seen the total go OVER the number in both games that it's played this year after playing three consecutive road games and in six of ten after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest, while Calgary has seen the total go OVER the number in nine of 14 this year against teams with losing records and in three of four after playing to three or more consecutive UNDERS.

The bottom line: Chicago is playing the fifth game of a six game trip, most recently coming off a 4-3 OT win in Edmonton. The Flames will be desperate to earn a victory tonight after dropping three straight and seven of ten. They also play with revenge after falling to Chicago 3-2 earlier in the year, so we definitely do not have to question their motivation levels this evening. When you add it all up, this number is indeed a little low. Play the OVER.
