8* Oilers (SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION)

We base our picks on many different things. This one is based upon "perceived value." We actually believe that the Oilers should/could in fact be much larger favorites in this spot. This is a great situational play, as the Devils come in extremely fatigued at the end of a long West-coast trip, including a 4-2 win at Calgary just last night. Would anyone fault the Devils having a bit of a mental letdown here after sweeping the first three games of the road trip, and which will be followed with three whole days off before a very important home game vs. conference rival Boston?! The Oilers poor start to the season has them playing "catch up," but they've looked great of late winning six in a row. Look for the home side to take advantage of the home ice and this situation and to ultimately find a way to get the job done at the end of the night; lay the price with confidence, the play is Edmonton!
