Minnesota at Colorado

The Minnesota Wild is one of those bad teams having a good stretch which we see from teams in almost all sports. After a horrible start, the Wild are now showing a loss in just one of their last six games. The Avalanche have played UNDER in five of their last six games, but have only three wins to show for it, so they are going through a stretch of games that are low and tight. They have not fared well in this role as they are just 2-9 in their last 11 as a home favorite, and vs. the West they have seen 22 of their last 32 go UNDER as well. These meetings have played low the last five with the UNDER prevailing in each. The Wild is a hot team right now that is worthy of a live dog status, so I'll back them in this one as well as the UNDER.
