Columbus vs. Boston Game Breakdown
Alright, let’s get to this hockey game.
Columbus and Boston—when you look at Columbus, they have just one win in their last seven games. They’re definitely not playing their best hockey. On the other hand, Boston is a .500 hockey team this season, sitting at 8-8. They haven’t exactly been making bettors much money.
Why the Under is the Play
What has been making bettors money, however, is the under for this Boston team. Why? Because they haven’t been scoring enough goals—averaging just 2.5 goals per game, which is definitely not going to get the job done. Columbus isn’t any better, averaging just 2.3 goals per game.
You’ve got to go with the under here. Looking at the last seven meetings between these two teams, the under has hit six times. They just don’t score enough goals to get up and over the total, even at six. At worst, you’re looking at a push, but the under is the play here.
Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. I appreciate each and every one of you. Let’s kick off the week with a winner. Have yourself a wonderful Monday, and I’ll see you on the next one!
