New Jersey at Dallas

The Dallas Stars were a perfect 4-0 at home, and 7-2, so the oddsmakers made them a dog at home vs. the LA Kings in their last game, which they promptly lost. It makes a pretty bold statement that this team is not the caliber most would expect to see from a now 7-3 club. New Jersey is barely on the plus side of the line and I think they are the better team here, getting line value along with it. The Devils shutout that same LA team on the road that came in here and soundly beat the Stars while the Devils have been huge playing on a single day of rest at 14-4 in their last 18. The Stars are leaking oil in the role of a small favorite from -110 to -150 at just 3-9 a further indication the oddsmakers are right on this team. The Devils have also gone five straight as a dog from +110 to +150 without playing an OVER and the Stars have topped the total in four of their last five playing on a day's rest as well as four of five OVER as a chalk from -110 to -150. Twin killing tonight in Dallas, as I am backing New Jersey and the OVER.
