I went through my personal records and came up with this for the current season. I am sure it contains some inaccuracies because of my own errors in record keeping but it should be close.

If we could throw out November, all other months win; but overall it seems that picking the puck line bet blindly is not a good strategy. ( I guess adopting any rule and following it blindly is not a good strategy.) I have never kept any records on the regulation play bet lines so I cannot evaluate that alternative for betting a huge favorite. Does anyone know where those records would be available historically?
