10/31/18 – NHL Pick and Recap

1012

Happy Halloween!!!

This season is flying by and we are just about a month in.  Here are the YTD recap and recent numbers.  The last post was on the 24th and I sent out some picks on Twitter as well.  As the season settles in and we get more data I am getting more and more comfortable playing up to -200 is some spots, though usually I just adjust the PL to -1 and take less juice.  24th – 5-2, great night.  25th 3-2 Good night.  26th 2-2, ok night but at least we were at .500.  27th 2-1, good night. 28th – None. 29th, 1-2, bad night and 30th 2-4, terrible night. For the season it is 36-30-2  .5454.  We are above .500, and have a way to go, but I like where we are.

Chicago Blackhawks @ Vancouver Canucks

The only game on the slate tonight is Chicago at Vancouver.  There are reasons to take either team here, and you couldn’t be faulted wither way.  Chicago, who is beginning a 3 game Canada road trip, is coming off of two losses in and row, and they definitely want to get things right and not drop a third.  Vancouver is coming off an upset win against Minnesota.  Chicago hasn’t lost three in a row all season, and there are reasons to believe that they won’t start now.  Vancouver has been an underdog all season long… literally.  In their 13 games they have not been favored once. They are use to this, they are use to being overlooked and undervalued, so I don’t see a drop off or let down coming off of their win against Minnesota. I am on a bit of an island tonight because as of this writing, 62% of the tickets and 67% of the cash are on Chicago.  But the numbers point to the Canucks. Don’t let the dog scare you on this Halloween night. I am taking the Canucks on the money line to get it done tonight. If you were to blindly play on the Canucks all season, you would be +6.65 Units. And as long as I am making money on Vancouver, I will continue to take them. I also took the Over 5.5. GL2ALL and have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!
