Blackwood,  the Devils  goalie, who turns 23 next month, has gone 3-1-0 while starting the last four games, including both ends of the back-to-back set last weekend against the Canadiens and a night earlier against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He is now the future of the Devils and gives them a solid chance at holding down the explosive Bruins tonight. To much value to pass up with a up trending home side.

Arkansas put 91 plus points on the board vs Rice in their first game of the season, and are more than capable of repeating that performance here on their own home floor tonight in a game I have pegged to eclipse the total.

  Eastern Michigan  has shown itself to have a porous D, but N.Illinois is highly inconsistent and if it were not for big plays they would be a stagnant offence. Eastern Michigan’s defense  has limited big plays  bad,  ranking  43rd in defending explosive plays. Meanwhile, Northern Illinois is strong at controlling opposing run games, but weak in the secondary, however, Eastern Michigan has not been consistent through the air, even though their numbers look decent . Overall, the combination of the above factors have me taking an under stance here on a slightly bloated total. Note: N ILLINOIS is 33-17 UNDER vs. good passing teams averaging 250 or more passing yards/game . N ILLINOIS is 11-1 UNDER  as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points since 1992 with a combined average of 45.1 ppg scored.

The Bobcats hopes for a MAC title or anything even close to that ranking  were  put to end over the last couple of  weeks thanks  in part to a porous defence. Now they are being made 21 point chalk.

I know the Wild dont inspire bettors either , but recently an uptick has taken place,I behind, left winger Kevin Fiala who has registered four goals and two assists while Zach Parise has three goals and three assists in the last 7 games and could light up a Sabres D that has allowed 21 goals over their L/4 games. MINNESOTA is 9-3-0 straight up against BUFFALO since 1996.

Prior to that loss the Blues earned points in nine consecutive games, going 7-0-2 , with 8 of  9 of those games seeing them allow no more than 3 goals. Also during their current 0-1-2 winless streak, the Blues scored just five goals. Tonight against an explosive TB offense Im betting we see the Blues hunker down in disciplined fashion and turn this game into a grinding affair, with limited offensive output from both teams, which will help keep this game to the low side of what my numbers say is a slightly bloated total.ST LOUIS is 60-40 UNDER  against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game over the last 3 seasons for a 60% conversion rate for low totals bettors.

Both Flyers goalies look solid this season, as well as a D, that has allowed a total of 15 goals in their 7 games overall ( 6 of those 7 games went under the total).  Here on the road tonight Im betting on a top tier defensive effort from the Flyers, vs the Florida Panthers and a subsequent under hitting on the board.

This is not a good environment for a team like North Alabama.

Sacramento continues to uptrend in my power rankings and showed their toughness when they ended the 10-game winning streak of the Boston Celtics via a  100-99 victory on Sunday. Now with plenty of momentum on their sides, I like their chances of  the Kings winning tonight on home court vs a Suns team that could be without key component  the injured Ricky Rubio .If the two way star does play  he will be less than 100% which will effect his teams cohesiveness.
