Stars vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Oilers to take down the Stars at home. With the moneyline currently at +127, I’m placing my bet on the Oilers straight-up.

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