*An elimination game is when at least 1 team faces an end to their post season should they lose the game concerned straight-up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All results based on opening lines.
Since keeping records starting with the 03-04 post season, the stats I've accumulated for all Elimination games total results are as follows:
Overall
All Elimination Games: U/O 65-44-2
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O 25-23-1
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 40-21-1
1st Round of playoffs
All Elimination Games: U/O 31-24-1
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O 17-12-1
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 14-12
2nd Round & onwards of playoffs
All Elimination Games: U/O 34-20-1
Elimination Games being game 4 or 5 of a Series: U/O _8-11
Elimination Games being game 6 or 7 of a Series: U/O 26-9-1
Clearly the prime spots to take Unders are in a game 6 or 7 taking place during the 2nd round or beyond (a losing % of only .250), when both teams have a series win under their belts and are both winners of at least 2 games in the current series.
