NHL Betting Pick #2:
At 7 PM ET the Buffalo Sabres host the San Jose Sharks. Buffalo is streaking with a 7-1-1 record and the Sharks are struggling a bit with a 3-5 record after starting 0-4. In their last ten head-to-head matchups they’re almost even. In their last three games Buffalo is 2-1, including a 5-3 win over the Sharks. The Sharks are also 2-1 with their loss coming at the hands of Buffalo.
Trends of note include Buffalo being 5-1 in their last six. An impressive 5-0 record at home and 17-3 at home vs San Jose.
Trends for the Sharks are being 3-8 in their last 11 games and 5-12 in their last 17 against Buffalo. They’re also 3-17 on the road against Buffalo in their last 20.
The model gives San Jose a surprising 53.75% chance to win and Buffalo a 46.25% chance, however I like the Sabres at home -110. Two teams going in opposite directions perhaps.
