Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
The Lindy Ruff Bowl in the NHL season opener on Friday from Prague. Ruff was New Jersey's coach last season, fired during it and brought back to Buffalo for a second stint at HC this offseason. The Sabres are healthy and have been in Europe for more than a week. The Devils only left Monday and are down two top defensemen in Luke Hughes and Brett Pesce.
