Ducks vs Flyers Prediction

For a moneyline bet, we have the Flyers as the likely winner. However, with the current odds at -197, I’d suggest considering a puck line bet, as our predictions have the Flyers winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Flyers to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Flyers to win this one by multiple goals over the Ducks.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
