Devils vs Flyers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Devils to take down the Flyers on the road. With the moneyline currently at -151, I’m placing my bet on the Devils straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Flyers to cover. Even in the event of a Devils victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Flyers should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
