This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Washington Capitals (7:00 EST).

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 Ottawa is just 4-9 (-6.8 units) this year when playing on two days of rest and only 4-11 (-6.5 units) after three or more consecutive losses, while Washington is 5-2 (+2.7 units) in its last seven after giving up five goals or more in its previous outing.

The bottom line: Clearly the Capitals were caught looking ahead to this game after last night's 5-1 loss in Columbus. We think that Washington comes in much more prepared tonight in front of the home town crowd and we fully expect it to take advantage of his extremely favorable matchup. The Senators are injured and are playing some of their worst hockey of the season (and that's saying something!) All signs point to a blowout, play on the CAPITALS.
