Two for Thursday

Detroit -1 1/2 (+165) at Tampa Bay: Detroit is coming off a tough loss to PIttsburgh where they played really well, but seemed to let up down the stretch and Pitt stole the win. TB is coming off a terrible loss last night as they failed to score, losing 4-0. I really like Detroit in this spot. TB is playing worse at home than they are on the road scoring less than 2 goals per and allowing over 2 goals per. Detroit’s offense continues to produce over 3 goals a game. Detroit has dominated this series overall and should be hungry for a win off that loss. Look for Detroit to take advantage of a weak and tired TB team.

2. Toronto (+125) at Edmonton: I really like both of these teams and both are playing well above expectations so far this season. Edmonton continues to rely on their solid defense and finally get back home after a really long road trip. Toronto relies heavly on their offense as they have not been that strong defensively this year. They are young, but still play very good hockey. Their offense is averaging over 3 goals per, both at home and on the road. I think Edmonton might come out a little flat as they still may need sometime to recover from that road trip. Take Toronto to pull the small upset.
