Flyers vs Bruins Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Bruins is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -199, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

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

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.
