No picks available now, but they will be added soon.
At 7:07 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the money-line with the Columbus Blue Jackets (64) versus the Calgary Flames (63). THE SITUATION: Columbus (19-19-7) snapped a four-game losing streak after their 3-2 victory at Utah on Sunday. Calgary (19-22-4) had lost four games in a row before a 2-1 win at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
REASONS TO TAKE THE BLUE JACKETS WITH THE MONEY-LINE: The Flames had not scored more than one goal in three straight contests before their win on Saturday. They had also surrendered at least four games in four straight games before their win against the Penguins. Calgary has lost 6 of their last 7 games on the road after winning their last contest. They have also lost 7 of their last 10 games when playing with two days of rest. The Flames are not a good team on the road, where they have lost 9 of their 13 games with the Total set at 6 or higher. They have lost 13 of their last 20 games on the road as a money-line underdog — and they have lost 9 of their last 14 games on the road when priced up to +150. They have also lost 14 of their last 22 games against teams with a losing record — and they have lost 7 of their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage in the 40-49% range. Dustin Wolf is their goaltender tonight. He has a 14-8-2 record despite a 2.98 Goals-Against-Average and a .897 save percentage in 35 games (34 starts) this season. He has been at his best at home, where he enjoys a 2.17 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 18 starts — but in his 17 games (16 starts) on the road, he has been saddled with a 3.97 GAA and a .867 save percentage. He has a troubling -4.4 Goals Saved Above Expectation (GSAx) mark — and he ranks 42nd of 67 qualifying goaltenders with at least 10 appearances this season with a -0.136 GSAx mark per 60 minutes. Calgary is giving up 3.0 Goals-Per-Game — and Columbus has won 8 of their last 12 home games against teams that surrender 3.0 or more Goals-Per-Game. They have also won 9 of their last 12 home games when favored. They turn to Jet Greaves to be between the pipes tonight. He has a 13-12-6 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage. He had a great December last month, where he posted a 2.29 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 10 games (nine starts). He ranks 11th in the NHL amongst goaltenders with at least 10 games with a +9.8 GSAx clip.
FINAL TAKE: The Blue Jackets want to avenge a 5-1 loss on the road in Calgary against the Flames on November 5th — and they have won 5 straight games at home when playing with revenge. 10* NHL Super-Under Valued Favorite with the money-line with the Columbus Blue Jackets (64) versus the Calgary Flames (63). Best of luck for us — Frank.

Frank Sawyer offers unmatched handicapping analysis over a diverse array of sports for his Hollywood Sports clients. Frank combines his over twenty years of experience as a professional sports handicapper with the drive to outwork his competition. Why invest in a sports service? Frank answers that question with a proven methodology. His model for success starts by investing a significant amount of time analyzing each team in the sports he handicaps to serve as a foundation for that season. Frank then combines his team assessments with empirical situational handicapping angles along with the latest in cutting edge analytics to identify value in the betting line. Decades of handicapping experience along with his unrelenting focus are the qualities that Frank offers his clients. Frank produces extensive reports that detail his decisions. He does this for two reasons: (1) clients deserve to see the work that goes into a conclusion and (2) Frank’s attention to detail within these reports validates to his clients that he continues to work tirelessly to unearth winning angles. With that ambition in mind, Frank has expanded his areas of interest and scrutiny to include the English Premier League, the PGA Tour, the WNBA, and UFC/Boxing in recent years to go along with the major four sports of football, basketball, baseball, and hockey along with the Canadian Football League, Horse Racing, and World Cup Soccer that he has specialized in since he began Hollywood Sports in 1997. Frank believes long-term success involves not only continuing to dig deeper into the sports that he covers but also in expanding his horizons with new events that can provide additional tools in his handicapping toolbox with the goal of rewarding his clients for their loyalty over the years.
Frank uses a rating an 8*, 10*, 20*, 25* rating system that also serves a guide for money management: 10* plays warrant a standard bet (and 8* plays warrant 80% of a standard bet); 20* plays should see a doubling of that standard bet; 25* plays are Frank’s highest-rated play with the recommendation to invest 2.5 times the standard bet. For Frank’s futures reports or for events with odds such as PGA events or horse races, Frank usually offers three recommendations in his betting report: his Best Bet for the event; his Top Overlay Bet which presents his best value play relative to the odds for the event: and his Long Shot Bet for a big underdog offer value with its potential big payout. Frank’s signature play his “A-List* release which is reserved for rare and elite betting opportunities.
