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:
Connor Bedard is back for Chicago a bit earlier than expected. And No. 1 Spencer Knight has been confirmed in net. The Hawks have won four in a row, including in DC last Saturday in a shootout. The Caps have been slumping since Dec. 5 and were dominated at home Wednesday by Dallas. Top winger Tom Wilson (42 points, plus-20) is expected out again tonight.
