Flyers vs Kraken Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Kraken to come out with a win against the Flyers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -137, I’m placing my bet on the Kraken to win outright.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Flyers to cover. Even if the Kraken win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Flyers should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
