Bruins -1.5 vs Sabres: Buffalo's injury crisis makes this a no-brainer

The God of Odds likes the Boston Bruins -1.5 at -265 and LowVig.ag is the place to hammer it.

Buffalo comes to town with a shiny 50-23-9 record, but dig deeper and the cracks are wide open. The Sabres are missing five forwards: Noah Ostlund, Sam Carrick, Jiri Kulich, Jordan Greenway, and Justin Danforth. That's a full line and a half of depth gone. Meanwhile, Boston only loses Viktor Arvidsson and Dans Locmelis. The depth advantage is massive.

Boston's home record is 29-11. They cover the spread at a 61% rate overall. Buffalo covers at just 40%. The Bruins score 3.3 goals per game and allow 3.0. With Buffalo's skeleton crew, expect Boston to control the pace and pull away late.

The line hasn't moved, which tells me sharp money hasn't hammered it yet. That's fine. The value is baked into the matchup itself. Buffalo's ATS record is 183-278-0. They lose more often than they cover. Boston at home laying 1.5 is a proven formula.

LowVig.ag offers the best spread price at -265. Bovada is worse at -275. Take the extra juice at LowVig. At 4/5 confidence, this is a strong play. The Sabres are banged up and the Bruins are built to exploit that. Lay the 1.5 and watch Boston cover.
