Blues vs Flyers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to take down the Blues at home. With the moneyline currently at -133, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Blues to cover. Even in the event of a Flyers victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Blues should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
