Wild vs Blues Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to take down the Wild at home. With the moneyline currently at +142, I’m placing my bet on the Blues straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blues winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blues straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
