Flames vs Flyers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to take down the Flames at home. With the moneyline currently at -138, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Flames to cover. Even if the Flyers secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Flames should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
