(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Boston,
Total: 5.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Win
The Penguins are a shocking 2-15 against the Bruins at home. That has to hurt! Both teams are fresh but neither played particularly well before the break; the Penguins losing 4 straight, and the Bruins giving up 19 goals in 5 games. I am not banking on the Penguins to win, but I am expecting extra effort from both teams to start the 2nd half with a win. I always feel that a break of 5 or 6 days benefits the offense more than the goaltender. The total is low, reflecting a history of unders between these two teams. Call me contrarian, but I think it is too low in this particular game. Take the Penguins and Bruins to go over the total.
