The set-up: Buffalo has struggled on the defensive end, but it's equally as horrible on the offensive end of the ice. Washington is one of the highest scoring teams in the league, but it's been phenomenal of late defensively as well. So why is this game going "under" today instead of "over?"

The pick: Buffalo has seen the total go "under" eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent in which it allowed four or more goals in, while Washington has seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of its last ten after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. I think the Capitals shut down Buffalo here and believe this'll be a tight, lower-scoring "under" once the final horn blares.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Sabres/Capitals.
