Devils vs Flyers Prediction
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Flyers to defeat the Devils while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +124, I’m placing a wager on the Flyers to win outright.
If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Flyers winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Flyers straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to 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.
