Flyers vs Oilers Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline bet in this game, our analysis leans towards the Oilers picking up the win. However, given the current odds of -220, I’d advise going with the puck line, as our predictions have the Oilers coming out on top by more than one goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Oilers to win and cover. Look for the Oilers to win this one by multiple goals over the Flyers.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to remain below that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the under.
