Oilers vs Avalanche Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Avalanche to defeat the Oilers while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -122, I’m placing a wager on the Avalanche to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Avalanche to secure the win and cover. Expect the Avalanche to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Oilers.

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