NHL Northeast Division Winners Betting Tips:
So no surprise, the Boston Bruins are the favourites to win the Northeast Division. But are they a good bet to make? Out of all the division favourites, I would think the Boston Bruins are the worst bet mainly due to the odds. Most other favourites are about even odds or bettter; the Penguins are +125 to win the Atlantic, and Canucks started up at evens to win the Northwest division for example.
The reason they are not a good bet is due to variance. This is a short season. If the NHL 2011/2012 regular season had ended a few months in, the Leafs would have won the Northeast Division! If you’re betting favourites, you want to bet a team that is going to hit the board running and be consistent throughout the short regular season.
I’m also not convinced by the Buffalo Sabres either. The odds are okay – but for this season which will be high in variance, I would be looking at alternate betting options for who is going to win the Northeast Division.
With all the drama revolving around PK, I think the Habs are going to struggle and they are out. The two teams I would be looking at is the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Senators are usually a strong consistent team, and they have the ability to just go about their business and grind out wins. The Leafs camp meanwhile, is full of confidence. They’re convinced that the short season is going to be a blessing in disguise for them, and that they can hit the ground running – or in this case, hit the ice skating.
Therefore I think the odds on the Toronto Maple Leafs are a great long shot bet. I would stay away from the Bruins here and if I was to bet the winners of the Northeast Division, it would be the Toronto Maple Leafs. Are they going to win it? I’d say they are going to win the division enough times during this high variance season, that they are at least a solid bet with positive expected value.
Throughout the NHL season, the best sportsbook to bet on the NHL Northeast Division Winners is BetOnline. as many other books don’t even offer odds once the season begins.
