The Rangers are 5-1 in their last 6 Thursday games and 3-13 in their last 16 overall. The Sabres are 31-80 in their last 111 Thursday games and 4-10 in their last 14 overall. The under is 8-2 in Rangers last 10 overall. The under is 4-1-1 in Sabres last 6 home games. The Rangers are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Buffalo and 20-8 in the last 28 meetings.

The New York Rangers have simply owned the Sabres over the years, but this current squad is not playing well to say the least and isn't a team I'm looking to get behind. The Buffalo Sabres are aggressive offensively and are starting to find their footing as a team, and the way they finished the first game against the Rangers is encouraging moving forward. The Buffalo Sabres and the cheap price here has to be the pick.
