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 LA is 5-2 (+3.2 units) in its last seven after three or more consecutive road losses, while Buffalo is just 2-6 (-4 units) in its last eight after suffering an OT loss in which it scored two goals or less in.

The bottom line: The Sabres have alternated wins/losses over their last four games and the come in off a 3-2 OT loss in Ottawa. This would likely be considered a good spot to wager on Buffalo in a bounce back situation if it wasn't for the fact that the Kings come to town completely desperate for a win. LA has lost three straight on the road and with tough ones in Chicago and Winnipeg upcoming, clearly the Kings can't leave anything to chance this afternoon. Great price on the "hungrier" and better overall team. Lay the price, play on LA.
