One more thing, of the 23 games away teams have won since Nov 5, 17 of them were dogs by the Dunkel Index. That includes Ana, Pit, And LAK above.
Anaheim is an away underdog playing at Columbus, who is ranked higher than Ana by 1.88 points. In this situation, the away dog has gone 4-1 (80%).
Pittsburg is an away underdog playing at Minnesota, who is ranked higher than Pit by 1.90 points. Again, in this situation, the away underdog is winning 80% of the games.
The LA Kings fall into the same category as the above two teams.
Calgary is a home dog. Since Nov 5, home dogs have been winning at a 72.7% clip (16-6). What's even more impressive is when you look at the index Dunkel has posted. He has NYR ranked above Calgary by 1.17 points. When the home team is the dog by 1.00-1.49 points, they have won 85.7% of the games (6-1).
Nashville is a home favorite, by his index. Home favorites have only been winning at a 51.4% clip (18-17). The reason I'm playing this game is the index has Nashville over Colorado by 1.05 points and when a home team is favored by 1.00-1.49 points, they have won 60% of their games (6-4). With the value this pick has and the contradiction in the posted line, I'm making a small play on Nashville.
