This is an 8* play on the Dallas Stars.

While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. 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 help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based entirely on strong and relevant ATS statistics:

Note that Minnesota is 1-3 (-2.7 units) in its last four overall and only 8-9 (-1.9 units) vs. division opponents.

And note that Dallas is 12-4 (+8.6 units) vs. teams with winning records this season and 8-3 (+4.9 units) vs. clubs with winning records.

Play on the STARS.
