Senators vs Flyers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to take down the Senators at home. With the moneyline currently at -134, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Senators to cover. Even in the event of a Flyers victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Senators should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
