Flames vs Red Wings Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Red Wings to defeat the Flames while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -114, I’m placing a wager on the Red Wings to win outright.

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

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.
