Moneyline
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Colorado Avalanche a 68.2% chance to beat Chicago Blackhawks. AiQ's moneyline pick is the side the consensus favors. The price on record, -230, is priced below the fair price of -214 (−2.2% value).
Total
The betting market, with the margin removed, puts the over 5.5 goals at 55.7% and the under at 44.3%. AiQ's read matches the market price, so AiQ has no edge on the total. AiQ's projected total, 6.3 goals, comes from the same market prices, so it adds nothing to them.
Puck line
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Colorado Avalanche -1.5 a 46.5% chance to cover and Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 53.5%. That is near a coin flip, and AiQ's read is the market's own, so AiQ has no edge on the puck line.
Trends in play
The total pulls both ways. The last 4 games involving the Colorado Avalanche went over the total. Meanwhile, each of the last 3 meetings between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Colorado Avalanche went under the total.
These come from the closing lines of this season and last. They are context, not the reason for AiQ's picks, and the books price them in.
