Jim Kelley
The man would not pick the Devils to win a series if their first line was the 1985 Oilers top 3, their second line was the 1980 Islanders top line, their third line was the late 70s Canadiens, and … Martin Brodeur was their goalie. Oh, wait.
I don't know what will happen. No one does. But when someone picks against a team over and over and over, it's a bias. I admit to having a bias against the Red Wings, and it fucked me up the last two years in predictions. I admit to being a fan of California teams, especially the Ducks, and the Devils. But I admit it. None of these fuckin guys admit shit.
As for the Ducks, look, they are not as good as the Sharks. But +260? That's just a comical handicap, and I think it pays, especially if you can trade it.
That's the best thing about sports betting. It can be a dangerous hobby, but it leaves the proof in the pudding and makes people put their money where their mouths are or shut the fuck up. I still have a t-shirt from betting on the Devils at 50-1 preseason in 2003. It's thanks to douches like Kelley that make it so much easier to win money on hockey that it is on baseball.
