The Buffalo Sabres should cruise to a division title.

The Buffalo Sabres have maintained their huge lead in the Northeast Division of the NHL.

The Sabres are still ahead of the Boston Bruins by 10 points in the division and the Sabres also now have a game at hand.

Last week with Players Only the Sabres were priced at -175 (4/7) and we recommended pounding them hard at that price as they were 10 points ahead of Boston at that time too. There must have been a great deal of action in the last 7 days because now the Sabres are priced at -700 (1/7) in the Northeast.

With such short odds on Buffalo, at this point it is virtually impossible to find an attracting betting angle with the Northeast Division's futures market.

How the Sabres are still +900 (9/1) with Skybet for the Eastern Conference championship and since they are looking more and more like a lock for a high seed in that conference, you would be smart to start topping them up before those odds shorten as well.
