Predators vs Devils Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Devils to pick up on a win over the Predators at home. With the moneyline sitting at -159, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Devils straight-up.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Devils to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Devils 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.
