Maple Leafs vs Senators Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Maple Leafs to secure a victory over the Senators on the road. With the moneyline currently set at -140, I’m locking in my bet on the Maple Leafs straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Senators to cover. Even if the Maple Leafs secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Senators should cover the puck line.

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