(Feb 14) Wizards {A} bet - This is a confirmed official series. Buy 3 points on the spread at no worse than -170 odds if they are underdogs. Take the money line if they're favorites. If the {A} bet does not win, please use the same rules and double up on the {B} bet by taking them again on 2/16.
San Jose returns home from a seven-game road trip sandwiched around the NHL All-Star Game. The Sharks have won three of their last four, but after a 4-1 victory in the Nation's capital on Sunday, I'm expecting a letdown here in their first game back at home in three weeks.
It would be a classic "letdown" spot for teams after being on the road for an extended time, especially if the trip were a success.
However, there is no such luxury for the Penguins, who had their two-game win streak snapped in a humbling 6-0 loss at LA on Saturday night.
But with two whole nights off to digest that pathetic effort and with a chance to avenge a 6-4 home loss to San Jose on January 28th as a -240 favorite, I think Pittsburgh offers up great value from a "situational" standpoint here, despite being a mid-sized favorite on the road.
I'm a contrarian at heart, but I don't follow any single methodology when handicapping and have always felt that being flexible with your approach is the best way to secure profits over the long term.
So while this will be a public play, I still really like Pittsburgh here to deliver the goods.
