The set-up: No need to overthink this one. Winnpeg scored a big Game 1 victory, and while they were able to shut down Connor McDavid in Game 1, I absolutely don't expect that to again be the case in Game 2. Handicapping the playoffs, is like being in the playoffs. It's all about making adjustments from game-to-game.

The pick: Note as well that Edmonton is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent. Everything points to a completely lop-sided blowout, so I'm laying the price.

This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Oilers.
