Las Vegas has come out with the over/unders on NHL team points for this upcoming season. Some of them are a little bit surprising to say the least. I don’t know how they come up with these numbers, but I do know that I (and you for that matter) can profit off of them.
This article will just look at some of the solid bets to make from the over/under lines for NHL points this season.
Buffalo Sabres Over/Under 91.5
The Sabres had 91 points last year and apparently they are supposed to get about the same this year, but I just can’t see them getting that many. Many teams in the East have improved, but in my opinion Buffalo is not one of them. A lot will depend on the 3 Canadian teams from the East because nobody really knows how things will pan out for them.
I bet the Buffalo Sabres will get UNDER 91.5 points.
Ottawa Senators Over/Under 83.5
This number is extremely low. The Senators had a horrible season last year and still got 83 points. They have done a lot to improve this off season and you shouldn’t expect to see another disaster this year. The Sens will at least be competiting for a playoff spot and they will need a lot more than 83 points to do that.
I bet the Ottawa Senators will get OVER 83.5 points.
Montreal Canadiens Over/Under 93.5 points
The way I see it, almost every move the Habs made this summer made them a worse team. The only chance they have of getting this many points is Martin working his magic as coach.
I bet the Montreal Canadiens will get UNDER 93.5 points.
New York Islanders Over/Under 70.5 points.
Tavares and the Islanders will be lucky to get 50 points this season.
I bet the New York Islanders will get UNDER 70.5 points.
Chicago Blackhawks Over/Under 105.5
As much as many people think they did, the ‘Hawks did not improve over the off season. They still have an awesome set of defencemen and a deep forward core, but their goaltending is suspect and I wouldn’t be surprised if Huet loses them a few games. They had a tremendous regular season last year and to improve on it once again would be quite something.
I bet the Chicago Blackhawks will get UNDER 105.5 points.
Colorado Avalanche Over/Under 72.5
The Avs are going to be bad this year. They really have nothing going for them. I don’t even think they will get over 72 points.
I bet the Colorado Avalanche will get UNDER 72.5 points.
Columbus Blue Jackets Over/Under 86.5
Apparently Las Vegas thinks last year was a fluke for the Jackets. I don’t. They have a solid core with a lot of young players improving such as Voracek and Brassard. Look for the Blue Jackets to improve on last season once again.
I bet the Columbus Blue Jackets will get OVER 86.5 points.
