This is an 8* play on the Columbus Blue Jackets.
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 Pittsburgh is just 9-11 (-3.8 units) in its last 20 after a four-games are longer unbeaten streak, while Columbus is 4-2 (+2 units) in its last six after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest.
The bottom line: The Pens come in off a highly satisfying 5-3 home win over Toronto just last night and suffice it to say, we think they'll suffer a letdown here in the second game of the back-to-back. Last night's victory was the finale of a three-game home stand and with three whole nights off before another back-to-back at Carolina and Florida, it's definitely not too hard to imagine the visitors getting caught "looking ahead." Columbus plays with revenge after falling to the Pens 5-4 in a shootout in late December. The Jackets have lost seven of ten and two straight and with a tough upcoming two game road swing at New Jersey and Philadelphia, clearly the home side can't take anything for granted here. Great value, play on COLUMBUS.
