This is a 10* REVENGE GAME OF THE YEAR on the New Jersey Devils.

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, the revenge factor and common sense:

As note that Calgary is just 10-12 (-2.7 units) this year against teams with winning records, while New Jersey is already 18-15 (+5.8 units) this season in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.

The bottom line: Calgary is 27-18-3 overall, including an awesome 14-5-1 on the road. New Jersey is 27-17-4 overall and 15-8-2 at home. The Flames though look poised for a letdown here after back-to-back victories over the Blackhawks. And with a tough game tomorrow night in The Big Apple, it's not too hard to imagine the visitors getting caught looking ahead to that one either. The Devils fell 5-4 in OT in Calgary back in early November. New Jersey's three-game win skein came to an end in a 5-3 loss at Ottawa in its most recent action, but with a night off to regroup, I believe New Jersey finds a way to get the job done tonight. In the end, we think this is fantastic value. Play on the DEVILS.
