(NHL) Philadelphia vs. Montreal,
Total: 6.50 | 100.00 Over
Result: Loss
The set-up: I base my picks on many different things, but after allowing 14 goals in two straight home losses, I believe the Habs risk life and limb today to take advantage of a Flyers team coming off a 6-1 win in Detroit just last night. Montreal has in fact lost six straight.

The pick: For me looking at this particular contest, it's not about who is in net or on the ice, it's a great situational pick. As stated off the top, I think the Habs are going to double down on the defensive end today and I believe the Flyers are going to come in flat after last night's big win. Additionally note that Philadelphia has seen the total go under the number in eight of ten already this season vs. clubs with losing records, while Montreal has seen the total dip below in 11 of its last 15 after playing to three or more consecutive "overs." This number is high considering the situtational circumstances.
