Flames vs Blues Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to come out with a win against the Flames while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -158, I’m placing my bet on the Blues to win outright.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Flames to cover. Even if the Blues manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Flames should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
