This is an 8* TOTAL EXPRESS on the OVER between the Minnesota Wild and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

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 statistics:

As note that Minnesota has seen the total go OVER the number in 12 of 18 road games this year when the total in the contest is set at 5.5, in 13 of 21 non-conference contests and in 14 of 23 against clubs with winning records, while Pittsburgh has seen the total go OVER the number in six of 11 home games with a total of 5.5, in seven of 13 following a divisional contest, in 12 of 21 in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent and in 11 of 17 against teams with winning records.

The bottom line: Overwhelming trends exhibited by both teams in this position clearly point to the OVER as the savvy move in this particular contest.
