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 on a few different factors:
Scheduling: This is an obviously won, after back-to-back OT losses, the Penguins would bounce back with a 5-0 win over Carolina just last night (we had Pittsburgh in that one). Note that Pittsburgh is a horrible 2-7 (-6.3 units) this season in the second game of a back-to-back this season.
Revenge: These team's met on November 25th and the Penguins pulled off the 4-3 OT victory.
Momentum: The Blues come in with plenty of momentum, they've won three of four, including a 4-3 victory over Montreal on Saturday, goaltender Brian Elliot made a career-high 46 saves.
Dominant penalty killing: St. Louis was successful on six of seven penalties vs. the Habs and is 22 for 25 on the penalty kill over its last six.
The bottom line: No need to overanalyze this one, a bunch of significant factors work in favor of ST. LOUIS today, making this a price in which we have no issues at all in laying.
