Coyotes vs Flames Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Flames is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -173, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Coyotes to cover. Even in the event of a Flames victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Coyotes should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
