Why wouldnt you take Tampa Bay tonight in game 4 on the road?

[NFLTrends]

The Lightning are a beast on the road in the playoffs, and Bishop plays amazing also on the road this post season.

Crawford has been slightly above horrible.

Blackhawks are playing frustrated and making huge mistakes.

Lightning are young and fast and playing at "Lightning speed", and seem to know how to pressure the Blackhawks, unlike what they did in Game #1 where they got a 1-0 lead and sat on it in defensive mode. They learned to keep the pressure on the whole game.

Take it or leave it.... but its a nice +145 favorite, and with the public thinking the Blackhawks wont lose 2 in a row at home, its a nice juicy pickup!

 

[Greenbacks]

72% of the public on the Blackhawks......I could see a Tampa win myself.

Good luck!

 

[Bourn]

I could see it as well

 

[HacheMan]

Must win for Chicago tonight, plain & simple.

I think the first 10 minutes of the game will tell the tale as Chicago will come out balls to the wall.


If Tampa withstands that early fury they can win it...

 

[NFLTrends]

Bishop has been playing lights out on the road... I cant think of anyone in recent memory playing like he has on the road in the playoffs and championship like he has.

Try to look at it with the "homer" glasses off.

Lightning have been great on the road, Bishop playing lights out, and the Blackhawks are playing frustrated and making dumb mistakes late in the games these past 2.

Too high of a price, and have to take the nice +money

I will risk plus money all day with that line that is out......Tampa can easily find a way to win a close one or they could get blown out of the water with the injury to Bishop. I can see it going either way. No way in hell would I lay -170 with the way Tampa's d has been able to shut down Chicago's main guys. Also, if Oduya is hurting it will be a big plus for the lines that Tampa keeps throwing out against the fab 4.

Quick took the Kings in 2012 to the finals as an 8 seed, only losing one game both home and away combined. Two sweeps and a 4-1 winning all road games. He was the MVP. Bishop will be the MVP too.

Impossible to argue with the fact that CHI -170 is so too expensive in this spot that this line is actually insulting.

 

[Defying]

no play for me.

Bishop splits were much, much worse on the road all regular season. Plus I don't believe he's healthy.
But Lightning do seem destined and I do think they have a legitimate shot, and the quicker they end the series the better for them.

Go bolts

I got them at -160 at William Hill. -170 is way too high, but it's a must win for the Hawks, at home. Winning two in a row on the road is tough.

Hey, we've landed over in the Women's WC Thread on Norway +1.5.

Play looks very solid. Both their games in the 2013 European Championships went 1-0 each team winning one and both are gonna advance easily out of this group with Thailand & Ivory Coast making up the other 2 teams in this group so no one can touch 'em. These Norwegian Girls should hang with Germany DRAW quite forseeable here but you had called it just a lean before, NOR+1.5 but wanted to let you know the play looks great in this spot.

I dunno about insulting, but it is pricey. I'm not advocating a play on Chicago.

This is more reasonable IMO. I can see not backing Chicago cause the price is too high but I certainly wouldn't have the balls to bet against them tonight.

If you do and you cash, well done.

I think I made a very similar post before game 6 against Anaheim.

My thoughts exactly.

What are our thoughts on the Total tonight?

Any Value?

Game over looks tempting.

Personally I like Chicago o2.5 -160 as my best and probably only bet of the game. I think it's very unlikely they are held to 2 or less, especially with a banged up Bishop. The reason I favor this play over CHI -170 is Crawford has been shaky.

Yeah I'm going to bet tomorrow.

5dimes has new lines to choose from. They have TB Over 1/2 -140 1st P which I like a lot. and Chi Over 1/2 -160 (too pricey). TB has scored a goal in the 1st in each of the 3 games played so far. I think there's value in the Over 1.5 +105 1st P because you are gettting slightly above even money on a play that I feel is likely to happen. With a "iffy" Bishop I think the Lightning are gonna come out guns a blazing. They know if they win this game its HUGE and they will not win scoring just 2 goals. TB Over 2.5 +105 is a nice play as well.

In in recent history (last 4 years) between these 2 only twice has the line been above -165 and each time it was the Hawks favored. Chi was favored -180 and -187. TB won both of those games. Yes, I know different teams. But, just putting it out there.

Too theres the fact that where Lightning are in this series 2-1 lead is quite similar to where they were in Game 1 up 1-0 a lead they tried to sit on which blew up in their faces and they took a whole hella lot of crap for so Psychologically they should be very fired up to come out swinging in this one and keep the pressure on the entire game. This + whats been said re: Bishop + whats been said re: Crawford under-performing...feels like these Totals plays are very much worth a look. Not sure HarryCaray would play a 1st Pd. Over though...I know he took a loss on one of those a few games back. Was in the Anaheim series. He might be ShellShocked. On 1st Pd. Overs.
