Otterline Report – January 28

Chris recaps a strong night across both leagues. NHL went 6-4, NBA continued its hot streak at 6-1. The episode covers why hockey is harder to model than basketball, how the verified value filter is performing, and what makes tonight's slim NHL slate interesting.

Only one NHL pick tonight with Columbus facing Philadelphia. The model gives Columbus a 65% chance to win against a Philly team that's 2-6-2 in their last 10. Colorado and the Rangers/Islanders game are skipped due to no edge.

Three NBA picks from the verified value widget, which is now 5-2 since launch.

Today's Picks

• Columbus Blue Jackets
• Cleveland Cavaliers
• New York Knicks
• Charlotte Hornets

Chris also walks through the new website homepage redesign, the NBA tab addition, and previews MLB coming in the spring.

Otterline Report – January 27

Chris recaps yesterday's results across the NHL and NBA, including a massive 6-1 night for the NBA model. The episode covers why human bias kills your win rate and how betting every edge instead of cherry-picking leads to better long-term results.

The LA vs Columbus game was postponed to March 9th, and Boston's overtime loss stung. Chris also discusses why hockey is considered the hardest sport to model due to single-play variance.

No NBA picks today—every game has heavy favorites where the market and models align, leaving no value on the table. NHL has a loaded slate with nine picks, all at half-unit sizing for proper bankroll management.

Today's Picks

• Toronto Maple Leafs
• Utah Hockey Club
• Montreal Canadiens
• New Jersey Devils
• Boston Bruins
• Dallas Stars
• Washington Capitals
• San Jose Sharks

Chris also walks through the new tiered betting system in the lab, explains why he's betting against his own team (Florida) for the first time, and breaks down why Vancouver is a fade every night.

The model went a perfect 3–0 last night, while Chris’s personal picks finished 2–1 after fading Detroit in a close overtime game. Overall, it was a strong night for the process and another example of why trusting data over emotion matters.

The episode also covers key NHL headlines, including a major trade involving the Golden Knights, Tampa Bay extending their point streak, and potential changes coming for the Rangers.

Tonight’s slate is loaded with heavy favorites, which makes pricing tricky and creates opportunities for uncomfortable but high value spots. Chris walks through three aggressive picks, explains the reasoning behind fading certain model signals, and why one unit discipline matters on nights like this.

Calgary vs New Jersey
Buffalo vs Carolina
NY Islanders vs Vancouver

This is a high variance slate with real upside if two of the three picks hit. As always, the focus is on long term process, value, and discipline rather than chasing short term results.
