Panthers vs. Blues Preview
This system focuses on situations where a team is at home as an underdog after dropping its last game in that same building by a narrow margin. While it might appear that home ice and recent motivation create value, these spots often expose deeper issues.
A team priced as a dog at home after a recent home defeat usually signals a lack of market trust in their roster, goaltending, or form, and the emotional lift of playing at home does not offset those gaps.
Oddsmakers expect the losing trend to continue, and public bettors often overestimate bounce-back potential, making it more profitable to fade these clubs despite their home setting.
