Predators vs Kraken Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Kraken to defeat the Predators while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +111, I’m placing a wager on the Kraken to win outright.

Our projections have the Kraken pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Kraken, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
