Detroit's 36-21 record shows they're legit contenders, and the model spits out a +2.9 spread projection against the -1.5 line. Edge is a whopping 66.2%. Can't ignore that. Red Wings don't need to win outright. Just keep it close. Their defense has been solid, allowing under three goals in six of last ten.
