This is a 10* ART OF WAR 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 Minnesota is 0-3 (-3.6 units) after playing three consecutive home games, while Columbus is 8-5 (+2.3 units) in November and 7-4 (+1.2 units) after allowing four or more goals.

The bottom line: We look for the Wild to stumble here after their extended home stand; lay the price, play on the BLUE JACKETS.
