BETTING TRENDS

Ottawa are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games.

Ottawa are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Nashville.

Nashville are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.

Nashville are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.

Prediction

The Senators aren't a team that you can trust on but they're not too bad covering the spread, specially on the road where they're 17-14 ATS but they're 0-6 last 6 games vs Nashville. The Predators have been good at home lately, winning 5 of their last 6 games and they're scoring 4.1 gpg in their last 10 games. Both defenses are allowing 3 gpg at least so expect a high scoring game. Take the over.

PICK: Over 6 (-110)
