Senators vs. Avalanche Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Senators vs. Avalanche prediction for Thursday’s game is the Senators Moneyline (-110).
Very little separates these teams in terms of points accumulated, but history suggests the Senators find themselves in a strong spot as home favorites.
Since 2005, home favorites playing a non-divisional contest in games 60-77 are 123-35 SU, assuming two factors:
- The favorite’s win percentage falls between 50% and 56%
- The favorite’s previous game margin falls between -6 and -2
When those favorites lost their last game by two or three goals – Ottawa fell by three in Montreal – they improve to 98-26 SU over that 20-year span.
Even if you shrink the sample to consider only the shortest of favorites, they remain profitable straight up.
Reconsider the initial sample with the bigger range of results for teams priced between -125 and -110: 19-7 SU.
Pair those trends with Ottawa’s recent home form, and the fact Colorado plays on a back-to-back, and the Senators are worth considering on Thursday.
