Golden Knights vs Predators Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Predators to defeat the Golden Knights while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -137, I’m placing a wager on the Predators to win outright.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Golden Knights to cover. Even if the Predators win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Golden Knights should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
