I am taking them on the puck line of -1.5 +165.


I just dont see how they can lose this game for starters. The line is -180 or so on Detroit for the game including OT.

Detroit is a pretty good road team in hockey at 13-4-2-1. Dallas is coming off of a long road trip where they were shut out in their last game and only scored 1 goal in the previous game. They allowed Detroit to score 6 goals in their matchup last week.

I am wondering if I should bet it all on the puckline of -1.5 +165, or should I play it safe and take the -180?



I did win a nice puckline 3 team parlay the other day with all underdogs of +160 or more

Dallas 0-5 this year after playing 3 consecutive road games
14-15 the last 3 years.

Wow, usually in the NBA this stat would be the exact opposite

Detroit spanked them 4 days ago 6-1
Detroit is hot streak going into the game with a SIX game win streak
Dallas' first home game in the new year (12 day road trip)

Don't see how Dallas could possibly win this one

Contrarian capping usually doesn't work as well in hockey as it does in football but whoa....everybody and there brother on the Wings tonight. Might have to bet Dallas and put in a movie.

NOT!

BE CAREFUL

Detroit has played 20 road games this year -- 70% have resulted in a one goal decision (10W - 4L) -- Detroit has been notoriously BAD when heavy favorite on the puckline.

Dont get me wrong - I am playing Detroit -.5 (OT Included) -178 for two units as Dallas is in the bad position of first game back after 3 or more game road trip.

BUT - they are NOT 0-5 this season as indicated above

This is the third time that they have found themselves in this situation -- losing the first two (Both losses by one goal).

Win or lose tonight...they certainly weren't playing as focused as they have since the 6-0 San Jose game woke them up. So i think you may need to throw a lot of those stats out the window. Their really on their game right now, their playing a team they met in the conference finals last season [ so they should be up for this one too] and they really have zero injuries at the present time. They are sitting starters right now just to get others into the lineup, not because of poor play. No way, in your right mind, you can bet against them right now.

Not betting against them -- just not jumping on the -1.5 as the Wings play just good enough to win on the road. Anybody who has taken them as a -1.5 over this season (3W - 17L) would attest to.

Actually, the ML is only around -185, not -245.

At any rate, betting a favorite that high is -EV any way you go about it. Now, if you would make a -1 puck line, that would be a far better bet.

A little more food for thought

Chris Osgood has started 9 games on the road this season.

All 9 have resulted in a one-goal game (7W-2L) with 5 going to OT
