NHL Picks: $100 Contest Game – Chicago Blackhawks at Colorado Avalanche
Round Three of our contest, and only two people have gotten both games right. This is still anybody’s contest for sure, so don’t forget to comment on the post pinned to the top of our Facebook page.
This is a fun one for me. The Avs have really been slumping, but they’re fantastic on home ice. They have speed, goaltending, and scoring. They’re not as balanced as the Blackhawks, but they can surely give them a game.
Z-Code agrees and this doesn’t really fit any systems. The Hawks are consistent, but they’re not necessarily dominant in their wins. This comes down to a 55/45 money line chance for victory, with 3 stars of underdog value on the home team, but two stars of value on the favorites. Our computer is as conflicted as I hoped the public would be when selecting this game for our competition.
The whole world seems to like the Blackhawks, but I think they might have issues with the speed of the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs are a good team and on home ice, this is a huge game for them. They’ve lost three in a row as their offense sputters, but I think they snap out of it here and play well. Is it enough? I don’t know.
Avs 3 – Blackhawks 1
