BETTING TRENDS

Colorado are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games.

Colorado are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Tampa Bay.

The total has gone OVER in 7 of Tampa Bay's last 8 games against Colorado.

Tampa Bay are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games at home.

Prediction

The Bolts have just made this a really exciting series and will get to Game 4 full of confidence after beating the Avs 6-2 in Game 3 at home. Expect a strong response from the Avalanche as they haven't had back-to-back losses in the post-season but with these two hot offenses and the over cashing in 7 of the last 8 head to head games I gotta take the over. 

PICK: Over 6 (-110)
