Sharks vs Flyers Prediction
If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Flyers coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -247, I’d recommend looking to the spread as our projections have the Flyers winning by more than one goal.
For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Flyers to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Flyers to win this one by multiple goals over the Sharks.
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.
