Oilers vs Ducks Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Ducks to come out with a win against the Oilers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +127, I’m placing my bet on the Ducks to win outright.

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

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
