Flyers vs Senators Prediction

For those seeking a straight moneyline bet, the Senators are the top choice. Nonetheless, with a payout of -243, you might want to use this bet as a part of a parlay to get better odds.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Flyers to cover. Even if the Senators manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Flyers should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
