SPORTS WAGERS
N.Y. ISLANDERS -½ +137 over Edmonton
Don’t be surprised to see the Islanders go on a little bit of a run. What’s so fascinating about this team is that they’ve scored the least amount of goals in the NHL and if all things are truly equal, they could go on a huge scoring spree any time now. The Islanders are loaded with goal scorers and point producers. Michael Grabner (26 goals in the last 44 games a year ago), John Tavares (29 goals last year), Matt Moulson (33 goals last year), P.A. Parenteau (leads team with 30 points), Josh Bailey, Kyle Okposo and d-man Mark Streit all have strong offensive credentials. They’ve grossly under-produced this season but it’s unlikely to last. One good offensive outing could open up the floodgates for the Islanders and surely they could go off here against an Oilers team that is not only reeling but is in a highly unusual situation. The Oilers played in Vancouver on Monday and Minnesota on Thursday. They’ll start at 1:00 PM EST here, making this the third different time zone in succession this week. One really has to wonder when the last time the Oilers played a 1:00 PM start on the east coast? Probably never and it’s equivalent to a 10:00 AM local start for them. The Oilers have dropped six of seven and things don’t figure to get any easier in this extremely difficult scheduling spot. Play: N.Y. Islanders -½ +126 (Risking 2 units).
NEW JERSEY +120 over Pittsburgh
These two rivals have played just once this season with the Penguins winning 4-1 back in October. A lot has happened since then and one of those occurrences has been the rejuvenation of the Devils after an off year. In no way should New Jersey be a dog in their own barn against the banged up Pens. The Devils have won eight of their last 11. They’re just getting better with each passing game and they’re healthier than they’ve been in two years. The Devils top three lines are as good as any in the game. Man, this team is still undervalued and we’ll stay on them for as long as that continues. The Pens are solid too but outside of goaltending they have no edge here whatsoever. Pittsburgh has a long injury list to key players and they’re just two games above .500 on the road. Regardless of the outcome, there is not a game on the board today that offers up more value than the Devils as a pup at home. Play: New Jersey +120 (Risking 2 units).
St. Louis +158 over DETROIT
We’re going to play this in regulation only because the Blues are 0-5 in shootouts with one goal in 17 attempts. These two have played three games this season with St. Louis holding a 2-1 lead. All three games were decided by a single goal and the Blue Notes have had a lead in all three games. Brian Elliott is 14-4 with a 1.63 GAA and it’s becoming more and more evident that he’s the real deal and not a half season fluke. The Red Wings need no introduction. They’re a top outfit that usually doesn’t lose at home. However, our philosophy has always been to look for value and let the chips fall where they may. Hence, there’s little doubt that the Blues are being offered too much weight here when you consider how well they’ve played for the past two months, how they’ve fared against Detroit and that they rarely lose with Elliott between the pipes. The Blue Notes played here in Detroit on Tuesday and lost 3-2 after being up 2-0 going to the third. They were without T.J. Oshie and Vladimir Sobotka. Oshie is definitely back while Sobotka’s return is probable and the Blue are better with that pair in the lineup. Play: St. Louis +158 (Risking 2 units).Comment

CBB 119-91 Season-to-Date +$3590
1 OF 3
Game: Idaho vs. Boise State (2:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Idaho +5.5 (-110)
The Idaho Vandals are 7-6 and have hung tough in every game they have played on the season. This is a team that has a lot of weapons out on the perimeter where they shoot 42.5% from three, so if they shoot their average it is going to keep them in a lot of games. Boise State has lost four times all to quality opponents, and is a bit overpriced here as Idaho is still very much under the radar at this point of the season. Boise St. has played well below the line, losing their last four ATS, and is now 1-10 ATS following a straight-up loss, and 10-27 ATS following an ATS loss. This is a bigger game for an in-state rival for Idaho, so look for the Vandals to be in it to win t at the end. Play on Idaho.Comment
