LOOKS LIKE THE UNDER IS SOLID IN GAMES WHEN A TEAM IS FACING ELIMINATION
HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF PAST YEARS-- THE UNDER IS THE FIRST TOTAL SHOWN IN THE RECORDS
***NUMBERS FROM 2004 THRU 2010 PLAYOFFS****
(SEE 2009 & 2010 TRACKING RESULTS BELOW)
Since keeping records starting with the 03-04 post season, the stats I've accumulated (based on opening lines & regulation scores) for all Elimination games* total results are as follows:
Overall
All Elimination Games: U/O 80-49-3
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O 29-28-2
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 51-21-1
1st Round of playoffs
All Elimination Games: U/O 40-26-1
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O 20-14-1
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 20-12
2nd Round & onwards of playoffs
All Elimination Games: U/O 40-23-2
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O 9-14-1
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 31-9-1
Clearly the prime spot to take Unders are in a game 6 or 7 taking place during the 2nd round or beyond, when both teams have a series win under their belts and are both winners of at least 2 games in the current series.
