You think betting companies who have invested hundreds of millions/billions across the industry for algorithms to set these lines are stupid? They have some of the most intelligent quants.
There's a reason they are the betting favorites and it's not because "Oilers fans" are betting down the line and there's a reason why they're projected to win 50+ games this season.
Whether they do or not, that's why the game is played. But to come out and say they are a top 10 team at best is just lying to yourselves. They're a top contender and it is what it is. |
New Jersey was a favorite last year to win the cup over pretty much every team and they missed the playoffs.
These odds mean absolutely nothing except that Oiler fans are degenerate gamblers and they have to adjust odds accordingly.
