Senators vs Flyers Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Senators to come out with a win against the Flyers while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at -120, I’m placing my bet on the Senators to win outright.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
