When I ran my handicapping service I never recommended these bets... a lot has to go right over a long period to win them. That being said, when the emotions are in it, and it's most definitely a top 3 team in this league, that's pretty good scratch coming back.
On the flip side, there are lots of intangibles for the Hawks that bettors love... we cover at home, we were good road dogs last year, etc. Not like the old Holmgren first-half blowouts only to see conservative play calling bring it back to a single score game.
This team is good enough to do it - I believe it. Might as well make the season fun. Another .NETter starts hedging his bet the closer the bet comes to payoff. Which is also a good strategy if you play it right!
Good luck!
