The set-up: It's a big Central Division matchup on Saturday night and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks. Colorado posted a 5-3 road win over Chicago last night and I believe it'll carry that momentum over here. Nashville is off a 2-1 home win over the Kings, but the Predators have been solid at home overall this season, going 20-12 there, averaging 2.97 goals and allowing 2.31 in those contests. Colorado's so far 14-18 on the road, averaging 3.44 goals and allowing 3.38 in those games.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Avs have seen the total go "over" the number in eight of 12 this year in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent, while Nashville has seen the total go "over" in three of its last four home games when the total in the contest is set at six or higher. I'm banking on a wide open shootout. Play the "over."
