SEASON FORECASTS AND FUTURES PICKSThe Wild are not contenders to win the championship at 80/1, 1.2%. They are one of 2 teams with these odds (#25 in the league). While not completely impossible, their chances of winning the championship is under 0.1 percent. In simulations, they win the West 0.4% of the time and are not a good value at 40/1, 2.4%. The Wild are averaging 80.9 points per sim so we recommend betting them to come under 87.5. At +210 the Wild are not a good value to make the playoffs with a 14.2% chance. They have less than 1% chance to win the division. Their average wins per simulation puts them at #13 in the West.

REGULAR SEASON RECAP AND UPCOMING GAMESTheir 37-36-9 record last season was very disappointing. Their expected win percentage was 51%. Anyone betting on them to win every game would have lost a lot (-931) based on a 100 unit risk per game. They were not good on puck lines going 35-47 (-2391 loss). More of their games came in under (45) than went over (31). Based on computer simulations they only have a 43% chance to beat the Predators in their next game. The table below shows their upcoming games, their simulation based win percentage and their recent head to head record (WL, ATS, OU). TEAM STATISTICAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSESTheir record should be slightly better. Since 10/2/2018 their average goal differential is -0.28 (includes playoff games) which ranks #20 in the league, but their rank based on points (per game) is #21. This is a relatively better road team than a home team. They are the #14 ranked team in goal differential in road games, vs #29 in home games.
