Senators vs Avalanche Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Senators to pick up on a win over the Avalanche and the road. With the moneyline sitting at +139, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Senators straight-up.

Our projections have the Senators pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Senators, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to 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.
