Predators vs. Blues Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Predators vs. Blues prediction for Thursday’s game is the Blues Moneyline (-135).
The Predators captured an unlikely win as underdogs on Tuesday in Raleigh. History suggests it’s wise to fade those teams when they’re a home underdog.
Since 2005, conference road favorites recorded a 141-65 (68.4%) SU record, assuming three factors fit the underdog’s profile:
- The underdog’s previous game margin is +2 or +3
- The underdog’s win percentage falls between 31% and 42%
- The underdog closed as an underdog in their last game
Just over the previous four seasons, these favorites improve percentage-wise thanks to a 31-7 SU record (81.6%).
The favorites also improve in this scenario when facing an underdog possessing a poor defensive record.
When the favorite takes on a team allowing north of 2.8 goals per game, they improve to 74-33 (69.2%), including 22-5 in the last 27 qualifying contests.
Pair those trends with the fact that St. Louis posted a 3-0 SU record against the Predators this season, and bettors should consider the Blues as road favorites on Thursday.
