When the term "Washington is printing money" is said during November usually that means something political, but in this case it means the Washington Capitals are basically printing money and the best part about it is the odds makers still haven't adjusted.
It's rare in this space will we dedicate it to just one team or one angle to make some money, but with the NFL, MLB playoffs, NBA, NCAA football and basketball garnering much of the public's attention, it's easy to see a team like the Capitals money-making ways fall through the cracks. But that is why we write this, to give you that edge.
The Washington Capitals are fighting for first place, which is shocking enough, but the Caps have also been disrespected by odds makers all season so far. The Capitals are 10-4 on the season.
They have also been the underdogs in more than half of those games. So this team isn't just winning, they are winning plus money games.
Washington also has been great for team totals scoring five or more goals in six of their last eight wins. The caps are led by future Hall of Famer Alexander Ovechkin, who has looked like he is 10 years younger. The 39-year-old has 10 goals and eight assists already this season, ranking among the lead leaders in goals and points. Ovi is chasing down Gretzky for the most goals of all time, and he is making a statement. Ovechkin trails the Great One by just 29 goals after his hot start.
Logan Thompson, the Las Vegas Golden Knights outcast, has been pure money this season as he is a perfect 7-0-0 on the season with a 2.55 goals against average.
The Capitals are printing money and this might be our last chance to take them at the discount before the odds makers catch on and the public will be soon to follow.
