There are times to back big underdogs and this is not one of them. Columbus is 10-20 on the road, scoring just 2.2 goals per game and allowing 3.1. Their defense has gotten worse of late as they have allowed 4+ goals in seven games this month. Coorado can take advantage of that as they are averaging 3.3 per game on the season and 3.8 per game over their last five. Colorado's weakness is defense but Columbus has very little offense to speak of. Colorado has motivation. They are off a road loss and they are 12-4 this season following a road loss including 7-1 when they lost by 2+ goals. They are also playing with revenge here.
