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 Predators 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.
