This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Calgary Flames.

While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profit over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation and scheduling. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they without question help foreshadow the outcome of a contest. And that's the case with this play, which is based on strong and relevant ATS stats, as well as scheduling factors: note that Edmonton played and lost just last night in Vancouver, so there's no question that the Oilers will have "heavy legs" tonight. Conversely the Flames are well rested and have been the best "home team" in the league this year; note that Calgary is 47-36 (+12.7 units) the last three season's vs. teams with losing records. Lay the price with confidence on the FLAMES.
