This is a 10* on OVER

We predicted that the Red Wings wouldn’t fare well last night in St. Louis and sure enough they lost 6-2. We don’t like their chances tonight in Colorado either. Now we can’t possibly justify taking the Avalanche on the money line here, but fortunately there’s the total. With the likelihood of the Red Wings again giving up lots of goals, Over has to be the play here. The Avs are averaging 4.3 goals/game. That’s the highest average in the league. Furthermore, the average jumps to 4.7 goals/game when the Avs are home and they also are coming off a pair of road wins where they scored seven times in both games. There have been seven times in the last ten games where Colorado scored five or more goals. They can send this one Over pretty much by themselves. Detroit will probably add a goal (or two) as well. The Red Wings last four games have all gone Over the total and they are 5-0 Over this season when playing on back to back nights. Play on OVER
