Flyers vs Predators Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Predators to come out with a win against the Flyers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -138, I’m placing my bet on the Predators to win outright.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Flyers to cover. Even if the Predators manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Flyers should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
