#45 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Florida Panthers +120 over Vegas Golden Knights, Monday at 8 PM ET - If you watched Game 1 you know that there were some fortunate bounces of the puck that favored Vegas. The Golden Knights got some breaks and, overall, we liked what we saw from Florida in that one even though they came up short in game with a deceiving final score of 5-2 as it was certainly much closer than that score would lead you to believe. Florida is now in a strong play on position as they have been so strong off losses including 3-1 in this post-season. Dating back to the regular season, the Panthers went 6-2 last 8 times in the regular season games when on the road and coming off a loss in their prior game. This is a well-coached team with plenty of veteran personnel on its roster too. They will be ready to respond here and we don't expect so much "puck luck" for the Golden Knights in this one as they certainly had some good fortune in Game One. Note that Florida wanted to establish physicality in game one and they did but they took it a little too far and they know they will not win many games when allowing 7 power play opportunities. The Golden Knights converted 2 of them and the Panthers had 0 power plays goals in the game. Certainly this was a big difference in the game. 5 on 5 Florida played very well and Vegas also got some huge saves from goalie Adin Hill. Give him credit as he has been strong in this post-season in a big surprise after other goalies got hurt. However, why was he not the #1 goalie in Vegas before the injuries? Exactly and this is why we feel a breakdown could soon be forthcoming and things start to unravel. All of the above factors are leading to value here. Also, because the Panthers are, of course, on the road for this Game 2 revenge spot in this series we get a great price. Grab the small underdog comeback price with the road underdog here.
SERVICE BIO
The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a combined 50+ years in the sports betting industry. Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s. After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since. They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year. ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten.
ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few. They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season.
ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections. They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. That’s not where they stop, however. They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest). On top of that, they analyze each point spread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry.
Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so. Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need. Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins!
