Flyers vs Maple Leafs Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Maple Leafs to defeat the Flyers while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -159, I’m placing a wager on the Maple Leafs to win outright.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
