Trends
Carolina is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Central and 9-3 in their last 12 road games. The over is 9-1 in Carolina’s last 10 games. Dallas is 24-11 in their last 35 games against the Metropolitan and 1-6 in their last 7 Wednesday games. The under is 20-7-1 in Dallas’ last 28 games. The over is 4-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Pick
Carolina comes into this game after winning four of their last five games, while Dallas has won two of their last three games and will be at home. Carolina has been an over machine in recent games, but will be facing a Dallas team that has allowed three goals or fewer in four of their last five games. I am going to stick with the Carolina offense in this game and take the over.
