Bruins vs Maple Leafs Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Bruins to secure a victory over the Maple Leafs on the road. With the moneyline currently set at -107, I’m locking in my bet on the Bruins straight-up.

Our projections have the Bruins pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Bruins, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

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.
