Predators vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Oilers coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -179, I’d recommend looking to the spread as our projections have the Oilers winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Oilers to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Oilers to win this one by multiple goals over the Predators.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
