12/22/16 NHL PICKS
FYI, we typically take the “regular time only” plays, you get MUCH better lines for favorites, and OT is so unpredictable it becomes a tossup once games go into OT. So the favorite we take the -0.5 line and dogs we take the +0.5 line.
Do we have a better line than you? Subscribe to our newsletter at the top of this page. We’ll show you what we use.
