This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER between the Anaheim Ducks and the Vegas Golden Knights.

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 and common sense:

As note that Anaheim has seen the total go OVER the number in 24 of its last 40 after playing three consecutive road games, while Vegas has seen the total go OVER the number in six of nine after playing three consecutive home games.

The bottom line: Anaheim comes in with momentum after consecutive road victories and it's out to avenge a 4-1 setback to the Knights in early December. Las Vegas is off three straight wins, most recently hammering the Oilers 6-3 and we look for that momentum to get carried over here. All signs point to a high-scoring, wide open shootout. Play the OVER.
