#58 ASA PLAY ON 7* Nashville Predators -165 on the Money Line over St Louis Blues, Thursday at 8:05 PM ET - This is a great early season set-up but the line really jumped on us here because it is so strong. Nashville is getting a lot of love from the betting markets so do note our reduced star rating on this one. As mentioned yesterday in our write-up on Edmonton over St Louis, the Blues got off to a hot start this season and were 3-0 before a shutout loss at Winnipeg in their most recent game before then losing 3-1 to the Oilers last night in St Louis. However, here are a couple of keys. St Louis has averaged scoring only 1 goal last 3 games. The Blues have only played one team that was a playoff team from last season and that was the Oilers at Edmonton last week and then again last night. Yes, St Louis won the one in Edmonton 2-0 but it included an empty net goal and was truly a game that could have gone either way. It was evenly played 5 on 5 but the Blues got a power play goal. That of course made last night's match-up a revenge game and the Oilers got their revenge. Now the Blues will have their back-up goalie in net for this one plus they are on the road without rest and they are facing a rested Predators team that has been on a losing streak and is eager to snap it! The odds makers are sharp, of course, and it is with good reason that a team on a 5-game losing streak is favored by a strong margin here! Lay it! We think we’re getting some nice value getting the rested home team in this one with the Predators as it is the perfect set-up for a solid home win.
