The set-up: This is the second game of a home and home set. The Predators won the first one at home by a score of 2-0, snapping a three-game skid. Dallas has now lost four straight and I believe it'll risk life and limb here to try and avenge the loss in Nashville, while also breaking the slide. Nashville averages 3.16 GPG and it allows 3.09, while Dallas averages 2.63 GPG, while allowing 2.52. Clearly the margin for error is very slim for both teams on most nights, but situationally I think this one sets up fantastically for the home side and it definitely makes this a price in which I have on issues at all in laying.

The pick: Note as well that Nashville is already just 2-3 (-1.3 units) this year after shutting out its opponent in its last game, while Dallas is 17-12 (+3 units) in revenging a loss vs. an opponent. I'm banking on a big time win for the Stars here.
