Flames vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Oilers is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -262, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Flames to cover. Even if the Oilers secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Flames should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
