Got a question about sports odds, btw. I'm looking at cbssports' listing of today's NHL games ...

cbssports.com

The visiting team is always given an O/U somewhere around 5 it seems, and the home team some number such as 150 or -135, but I can't see a pattern here at all. Both Tampa Bay and Montreal have the better records, but the odds for the Devils and Islanders seem wildly different ... what am I missing? <g>


Tampa Bay
(18-10-3)

5 O/U

New Jersey
(12-15-6)

-120





7:00 PM ETLINE

Montreal
(19-11-3)

5.5 O/U

NY Islanders
(9-19-5)

120
