Why we think this

  1. 1
    What our numbers say

    The model gives New York Islanders 49% and New Jersey Devils 51%. The bookmakers see it the other way and make New York Islanders the favourite at -120, so take care with this one.

  2. 2
    Recent form

    New York Islanders won 1 of their last 5 and New Jersey Devils won 3 of their last 5. New Jersey Devils come in with the better run.

  3. 3
    Home and away

    New York Islanders won 5 of their last 13 games at home. New Jersey Devils won 6 of their last 11 on the road.

  4. 4
    Scoring

    New York Islanders score 2.3 goals a game and let in 3.4. New Jersey Devils score 3.3 and let in 3.0. Their recent games average 5.7 and 6.3 goals in total, and the market line is 5.5.

  5. 5
    Head to head

    In the last 5 meetings, New York Islanders won 3 and New Jersey Devils won 2. The last one ended New York Islanders 1, New Jersey Devils 4.

  6. 6
    Where the value is

    Devils +1.5 is priced at -238. Our fair price is -291, so the bookmaker pays about 5.7% more than it should.

Note: Every reason here comes from real results and real prices. We do not guess and we do not copy tipsters.

Important, please read before you bet

  • These are opinions, not results. Everything on this page is a probability worked out by a computer model from past games and current prices. No one can know what will happen in Islanders against Devils. A pick at 70 percent still loses about 3 times in every 10.
  • We do not promise profit. Our public record shows wins and losses together, and losing runs happen to every method. Treat any money you stake as money you may never see again.
  • 18 plus only. Betting is for adults. In some countries the legal age is higher and in some it is not allowed at all. You alone are responsible for checking the law where you live.
  • Prices move. The odds shown were read from a bookmaker feed and may already be different. Always check the price in your own account before you place anything.
  • No advice for your money. We are not financial advisers and we do not know your situation. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to stake any amount.
