Devils vs. Senators Prediction

Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Devils vs. Senators prediction for Saturday’s game is the Devils Moneyline (-125).

Historically, mid-tier home favorites excel late in the season coming off a bad loss. 

Since the 2005 NHL season, home favorites playing outside the division are 123-35 SU, assuming three factors:

• The favorite’s game number falls between 60 and 77
• The favorite’s win percentage falls between 50% and 56%
• The favorite’s previous game margin falls between -6 and -2

Over the last four seasons, those home favorites own a 22-6 SU record in such contests, including 11-2 over the last two seasons. 

This system works better against underdogs also coming off a devastating defeat. 

Take the initial 158-game and shrink it down to consider games against teams coming off a three-plus goal loss, and the favorite improves to 32-4 SU. 

As a result, bettors should consider the Devils as short home favorites on Saturday against the Senators.
