I think this game will gather a lot of attention from sports bettors (mostly one sided towards the Hawks.)
Let's discuss this game.
I'll start.
I like the Jackets in this game. And there are a number of reasons why.
1. Chicago is 11-18 on the road this year, scoring on average 2.7 goals and allowing 3.4. Chicago shoots 8.4% on the road, converts 17% of their PP chances, allows 11.3% shooting and 20% opponent PP chances.
2. Chicago is 1-4 in their last 5 (a win over my beloved Rags), and have been outscored 2.2 to 3.6 in that span. THey've shot at 7.5%, and haven't converted a single PP chance in 15 tries. In the same span, they've allowed 14.3% shooting and an opponent PP % of 16.7.
3. Columbus is 10-18 at home. They average 2.4 goals for, and 2.7 against. They're converting 7.6% of their shots at home and 17.6% of their PP's. Yes, at home they're allowing 9.6% shooting and 21.2% opponent PP, but on to the next point....
4. Columbus is 3-2 in their last 5, Outscoring their opponents 2.6-2.4. In that span of 5 games, They're converting 9.2% of their shots and 30.4% of their power plays. They're also only allowing an opposing shooting % of 7.2.
Now, this isn't me sitting here telling you that "Hawks backers are wrong!", i'm just basically, in a way, trying to get yall to talk me out of playing the Jackets lol. I can very easily see the Hawks winning 100000 to 0, but the stats here tell me that the Jackets could have a legit shot at winning me some money here haha.
So, there is my angle on it. Someone talk me out of it
