Panthers vs Oilers Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Panthers to come out with a win against the Oilers while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at -102, I’m placing my bet on the Panthers to win outright.

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