The set-up: I'm not going to break down the cast of characters on each team. If you're wagering on this contest, you almost assuredly know the strengths and weaknesses of each team and how they got to this point. So why is Tampa going to win Game 7 here on its own ice? I don't think that its experience at this level can be overlooked. New York is in unchartered territory right now.

The pick: Tampa is 26-8-2-0 at home, while New York is just 16-17-3-1 on the road this season. The last time these teams played here, the Bolts won 8-0. I don't expect such a ridiculous lop-sided destruction here in Game 7, but I do expect it to be convincing. Lay the price with confidence.

This is a 10* GAME 7 BEST OF THE BEST on the Lightning.
