NHL Atlantic Division Picks 2015-16: Canadiens, Bruins, Lightning

2015-16 Atlantic Division Predictions: Habs, Bruins, Bolts

Last year, the Boston Bruins collapsed and fell all the way out of playoff contention. The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning took huge steps forward and dominated the rest of the division in their place. Can the Bruins bounce back? Are the Habs Stanley Cup contenders? Can the Tampa Bay Lightning take the next step? Let’s see.

1. Boston Bruins (103 pts): A value play at +500 and 10:1 long shots to win the Stanley Cup, I’m not sure why people are completely writing off the Boston Bruins. Yes, they fell apart  ... 

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens ($100 Prize!)

NHL Playoffs Picks Contest: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

The Habs are hot and Carey Price is playing out of this world. The Boston Bruins lack the offensive star power to feel confident betting into a goalie this tremendous. Price is proving himself. This is dangerous.

Still, there seems to be line value, for me, in the Boston Bruins. I think they’re the best team in hockey right now, and I’ve got to think they can bounce back from that game one loss with authority. Game Two proved that. Game Three will decide if they’ve lose home ice or if  ... 

NHL Picks Contest Round Four: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

NHL Picks Contest Round Four: Boston Bruins at Montreal Canadiens

Tuesday. May 6th

This is one of my favorite rivalries in sports and so far the first two games haven’t disappointed. Boston is deep, physical, experienced, and they know how to win. Montreal is hot and Carey Price might be the best goaltender in the playoffs right now. On the road, can Boston battle back in this series and find a way after losing home ice advantage for the series? Dramatic comebacks, epic overtimes, fantastic goaltending, high scores, big hits, and a whole lot of playoff hate. Who ya got?

NHL Playoffs Bracket Round Two: Penguins, Bruins, Blackhawks, Ducks

NHL Playoffs Picks, Round Two: Penguins, Bruins, Ducks, Blackhawks

Most of our bracket is still alive, and both Game Seven losses were destined to fall in the next round anyway so we’re in great shape if anyone followed for their office pools. We also hit three series lengths exactly, and would have had four if the Sharks pulled through. All in all we nailed the first round, but it only gets harder from here.

New York Rangers Vs Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh reminds me a lot of a cat playing with a mouse. Sure, they could kill it rather easily, but it’s more fun to come out of your net with a one-goal lead in the final 20 seconds, misplay the puck, go to overtime and lose on the first shot from the blue line. The cat often lets the mouse get away and rarely seems to care, but I’d rather be the cat than the mouse here. Pittsburgh has  ... 

NHL Playoffs Picks, Second Round: Boston Bruins Vs Montreal Canadiens

We finished the first round with a near-perfect bracket, losing perfection in the final day.  High confidence series predictions in the Rangers, Ducks, and Blackhawks all hit.  Our lowest confidence series lost in seven games, but we made up for it with excellent strategy and small units down the stretch.  We predicted the correct number of games for three series that we won, and overall we’re up a lot of money using my non-progression betting playoff series system. If you’re going to lose in this system, it might as well be in seven games to minimize loss. In fact, in  ... 

NHL Picks: Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues Parlay Prediction

NHL Picks: Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues Parlay Prediction

I don’t usually recommend parlays as part of a successful system. In most cases, they’re not profitable long term. Few experts are able to rely on them successfully (though a few of them work for us at Z-Code). For me, it represents an unnecessary danger and long-term risk that I avoid.

Here, however, with the lines as sharp as they are down the stretch, I think there’s value. I’m on a parlay here that has strong Z-Code support, but limited value by themselves.

I am a little nervous because the Minnesota  ... 

Stanley Cup Game Two NHL Picks: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks

Stanley Cup Game Two: Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks Pick and Predictions

It’s anti-climactic. It’s boring. It’s terrible. It’s also a way to stay in profit long-term and protect what has been a glorious playoff run. There’s no signal here, and chasing is silly. We’re a no bet in Game Two of the Stanley Cup.

My thoughts remain the same. This series will be a grind, and the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks are two evenly matched teams.

Rask had the win in the bag before a puck went in off his defenseman’s skate and angled in behind him. The  ... 

ZCode Totals Predictor – How to win Game Totals? Over 5. Under 5.5

The Totals Predictor is a unique tool developed based on Jonathan Ma ideas. Here is how it works. For every team we are building 2 lines.

http://zcodesystem.com/totals_predictor/?team1=NY%20Islanders&team2=Boston

The blue line is the Over/Under line. We assigned a value of 1 for the Overs and a value of -1 for the Unders. For the purpose of this prediction tool, over/unders are based on 5.5. Any game with a push on 5 is considered an under for 5.5.

The red line is the differential between the over/under based on the last 10 games. Examples: A 6-4 in favor of over would be +2. A 3-7 in favor of under would be -4.

Next step is to compare the lines and see the repeated patterns. For example if you see both teams are trending up on the red line this means they score much more goals than usual and the game will probably go Over 5.5!

Magic score 3-7 ? I was thinking a lot why road dogs (Jets and Tampa) got blown away 2 times in a row especially with such a big and similar score ? What’s different about those games?
