Hurricanes vs Flyers Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to come out with a win against the Hurricanes while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +188, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers to win outright.

Our projections have the Flyers pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Flyers, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

For those assessing the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will stay below that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the under.
