Oilers vs Flames Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Flames to secure a victory over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline currently set at +128, I’m locking in my bet on the Flames straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Flames winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Flames straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
