Ducks vs Kraken Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Kraken is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -198, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Ducks to cover. Even if the Kraken win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Ducks should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
