Sport	Ice Hockey
Event	AIK - Brynäs
Selection	Over 5.0 goals
Strength	10/10

Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.83
Reasoning	AIK back to the top league again after a long wait: latest season in Elitserien for them was 2001/2002 season. The start has been rough: league worst record of two wins and five loses (one win and loss after regulation). They haven't played that bad but tight games have gone to the opponent. On home rink they are clearly trying to give the fans something to cheer for: 1-5, 4-5, 5-2. That said defense doesn't seem to be in the game plan on home ice. Brynäs has had a poor start with two wins and five loses (two loses after regulation). Their offense has been good scoring 20goals in seven games so far. Unfortunately their defense has been worse allowing 24 goals so far. They seem to offer very entretaining hockey atleast; averaging 6.3goals per game. Can't figure out why the line for this game has been pushed down to even 5.0goals. Pretty much everything points to loads of goals and I was actually expecting a 6.0goal line. Oh, well... can't complain: over 5.0goals with odds around 1.80is tastes good.

Event	Timrå - Skellefteå
Selection	Timrå
Strength	10/10

Reasoning	Timrå has had a good start to the season recording five wins and two loses (two wins after regulation). Defense on home ice has been excellent so far allowing only three goals in two games (can't read too much into that though). Skellefteå has had a swell start to the season aswell: four wins and three loses (one win after regulation). Especially at home they've been a force scoring 15 and allowing nine goals in four games. On road it's has been an another story: one win (after regulation) and two loses with seven goals scored and nine allowed. Timrå should take this one mainly thanks to the home advantage. Still Skellefteå's defense has been stellar and they might be able to keep this one a tight affair. Home win odds though reflect that and odds a bit under 2.20 sounds fair to me.
