Flames vs Predators Prediction

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

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Flames to cover. Even in the event of a Predators victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Flames should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
