Well… last Saturday didn’t go as planned as I ended the day going 2 – 4, a bit disheartening but bound to happen every now and then. Since then my week has been rather solid, going 6 – 3, and I’m looking to carry that over into the weekend. 

One game I’d like to highlight from the week was Friday’s Winnipeg / Las Vegas game. The Jets were a -152 favourite, but if you had been paying attention, the smart money would have been on Vegas. Winnipeg had been in Vegas for most of the week and were taking in all the sights and sounds Sin City had to offer. I could see this being a major pitfall for visiting teams, especially with young players as temptations could run rampant. Something to keep an eye on for this season at least.
