Senators vs Predators Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Predators to come out with a win against the Senators while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -124, I’m placing my bet on the Predators to win outright.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Senators to cover. Even in the event of a Predators victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Senators should 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.
