talk about bogus odds because there's no one to bet on the washington side. There's no way the Rangers are that heavily favored. I'm a season ticket holder and die hard fan but even I can admit that Saturday's game is a total toss up. I'd put this at even odds Also scratching my head at the 4.5 o/u, with 0.83 odds on the over meaning 3-2 score or higher. They're predicting the teams will go balls out on scoring and I'm really wondering how they came to that conclusion
4.5 total is incredibly low before the playoffs, there wasn't a total set below 5 all season, but no one is scoring this postseason (with the exception of devils/panthers and penguins/flyers first round). If both teams hit 2 goals, it automatically hits 5, which makes it very hard to set a total under 5. If there ever is a 4.5, the over will always be favored. Check the odds at Pinnacle Sportsbook, the sharpest (meaning the most accurate odds) of any online sportsbook. http://www.pinnaclesports.com/League/Hockey/NHL+OT+Incl/1/Lines.aspx I can give you a little better on the rangers at -135 rather than -145 if you want. The game is obviously not a toss-up. Regardless of how the series has gone to this point, the Rangers were the better team this season and they're at home. No way this was going to be close to a pick'em. Honestly, I thought the line would be -155.
