If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to take down the Blackhawks at home. With the moneyline currently at -158, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers straight-up.
When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Flyers to secure the win and cover. Expect the Flyers to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Blackhawks.
If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
