**OFF ANOTHER SWEEP!** BIG-CHALK DESTRUCTION (INSANE +$19K NHL RUN!)
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -208.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 6* BIG-CHALK DESTRUCTION on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

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 23-18 (+12.6 units) this season after allowing four goals or more in its previous contest (5-4 OT win over the Flyers), while Detroit is just 16-27 (-7.8 units) this year in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent (latest was 4-1 setback in mid January.)

The bottom line: Pittsburgh is tired and injured and on the road, but we still think it's worth the price of admission in this spot. The Wings have been terrible in all facets of the game this year and they come in off another disappointing 4-2 loss in Montreal just last night. With a much more "winnable" game at Buffalo on Thursday, we expect the home side to simply go through the motions. Lay the price with confidence, play on the PENGUINS.
