Blues vs Flyers Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to come out with a win against the Blues while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -136, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers to win outright.

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

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
