This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Anaheim Ducks.

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 San Jose is just 2-4 (-2.2 units) in its last six when playing the second game of a back-to-back scenario (note that the Sharks laid everything on the line just last night in their highly satisfying 6-5 home win over the Oilers), while Anaheim is already 15-11 (+4.9 units) this season in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent (fell to San Jose 6-2 on January 21st.)

The bottom line: The Ducks come in off two straight wins, but with a lengthy road swing about to commence on Tuesday, clearly the home side can't afford to take anything for granted here. We expect the Ducks to play with the same level of desperation in which the Sharks played with last night and all things considered, we think this line could/should in fact be larger. Great overall value, play on ANAHEIM.
