This is an 8* VALUE PLAY on the Wild.

Just really good line value here. And that's almost entirely what I'm basing this pick on.

Vegas is 19-8, but off a 6-3 loss at Edmonton just last night.

With three whole nights off after this, before a favorable three-game home stretch over X-Mas, would anyone fault the visitors getting caught "looking ahead" here?!

Minnesota is 20-6. It's been trading wins/losses over its last five games. It's off the 4-1 win here yesterday afternoon vs. Philly, so it'll be looking to snap that pattern here.

It's the WILD that are vastly undervalued here in my opinion.

Good luck, NP
