Wild vs Blackhawks Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Blackhawks to defeat the Wild while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +155, I’m placing a wager on the Blackhawks to win outright.

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

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
