#27 ASA PLAY ON 8* Nashville Predators -145 on the Money Line over Columbus Blue Jackets, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - Nashville started the season with two big wins in Europe over the Sharks but then came home a bit flat.  It did not help them that they had to face a tough Dallas team in their first two games after coming back as the Stars are now undefeated on the season and playing well.  However, the Preds were then up 3-1 on the Kings in Nashville with 7 minutes to go and LA ended up rallying.  The Kings tied it up in regulation and won in the shootout and this has the Predators chomping at the bit to get back on the ice.  Columbus has just 1 win in 4 games so far this season and has been giving up a lot of goals.  Yes the Preds have also struggled recently and started to give up too many goals but some of that was due to who they faced and the fact they opened their season in Europe.  Nashville showed signs of a turnaround in their most recent game and the fact they came up short will only strengthen their resolve here.  Columbus sees their struggles continue as they have not played well so far this season and they are catching Nashville at the wrong time.  We think we’re getting some nice value getting this hungry road team at -145 in this one with the Predators as it is the perfect set-up for an away win.
