[talking sports picks]

Not to go overboard on OVERS..but
Today we like a play on the OVER in the Atlanta/Ottawa NHL Matchup head to head the total has gone OVER in 6 of their last 9 meetings, more
recently 5 of their past 6
It was a 9 goal over in their only meeting this season, their last meeting last
April produced 10 goals
Atlanta is leaky on the road. Away from home, the Thrashers in their past
5 road games have surrendered 23 goals..well over 4 goals per game AVG
Ottawa is at a 3 goal a game clip in their current 4 game win strak..right on
Their season average
Both Ottawa and Atlanta have scored 127 goals this season..dead even..
Only one team, Buffalo has scored more in the Eastern Conference
Ray Emery should start in goal for Ottawa.He didn't face Atlanta in
Their only meeting this season..but Kari Lehtonen who should start
in Atlanta's net tonight gave up 4 goals in that 5-4 Atlanta win.
you've got a couple of high scoring teams that ..New Years Eve aside
should be fresh and ready to roll..We are likely to see these two
Offenses at their best.
We see value in taking Atlanta at Ottawa OVER the 6.5 goal total
