Avalanche vs. Predators Preview
This is a pretty solid play to me because Colorado completely outclasses Nashville in every facet of the game.
And because value is the name of the game, we're sticking with overs here.
Colorado does a lot right. The Avs have one of the deadliest duos in the league in Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, while also having pure goal scorers like Martin Necas and Brock Nelson. To put the cherry on top, Artturi Lehkonen has turned into a modern-day Selanne, leading the team in goals.
Meanwhile, the Predators are one of those mixed bag teams, riddled with over-the-hill vets, who now simply exist rather than being difference makers.
It is what it is. It's not like they're bad players. They can still produce and score, but Nashville is such a nothing team to me, with no real direction. And Juuse Saros is a shell of his old self, which makes me believe that the Avs are going to light them up.
Best Bet: Over 6.5
