Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey
5-Unit Play. #1. Take Under 5.5 Goals Detroit vs. St. Louis (Sunday @ 12:30pm est).
I've always believed regardless of the sport when winning teams face each other, they have a tendency to go Under. These teams use these regular season matchups as a benchmark to see where they need to improve upon and how good they are for a Title run. Such is the case with both of these squads today. Detroit and St. Louis have gone over the last 4 times they have played but it is likely to be different today. The Under has been a huge moneymaker this season when you take into account games that start prior to 1pm est and that is likely to be the case today as well. The Under is 7-2-1 for the Blues when they face a team in the Western Conference of late and the Under is also 6-1-1 for the Red Wings when they play after 1 day's rest. With these teams having played each other 4 times already this year, one has to think they will be used to their strengths and weaknesses and there is no better opportunity than to take an Under on an early Sunday morning game. St. Louis has given up 5 goals in their last 3 games and with Detroit taking away their one game where they gave up 7 goals to Chicago, they have given up 2 goals or less in 7 of 9 contests. I like Detroit here at home with some revenge and for St. Louis to shore up their quality defense of late as well as this game likely goes under.
