Penguins vs Predators Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Predators to take down the Penguins at home. With the moneyline currently at -107, I’m placing my bet on the Predators straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Penguins to cover. Even if the Predators secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Penguins should 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.
