Flyers vs Stars Prediction

If you’re considering a direct moneyline bet, the Stars is the choice to make. However, with a payout of -273, you might want to use this bet as a building block for a parlay.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
