Look at their December schedule and tell me if you think they will likely only be 2 points better than November.
Flames are 1 game above .500 and every sportsbook has them in the playoffs with better odds than teams well ahead of them currently...why is that?
Flames have 17 games left against Anaheim, SJ, Phoenix, Chicago, Columbus...just off the top of my head

If you look, the next time the Flames have a run of games against high end teams it's Feb 23 to Mar 2 where the play 4 in a row against Vegas, Colorado, Boston and Toronto. Only 1 other time before Feb 23 do they play even 2 high end teams in a row. It's always 1 good team followed by 2 games against average or bad teams. That is how hard the schedule has been so far.
