Flyers vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to take down the Oilers on the road. With the moneyline currently at +135, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers straight-up.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
