Flyers vs Blues Prediction
When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to come out with a win against the Flyers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -143, I’m placing my bet on the Blues to win outright.
If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Flyers to cover. Even in the event of a Blues victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Flyers should cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
