The Flyers have had recent losses away from home, such as a 1-5 loss to the Calgary Flames and a 1-4 loss to the Seattle Kraken. This makes the Oilers a safer bet, especially with their home advantage at Rogers Place.

For the Over/Under, taking the Under 6.5 at -120 seems wise. Both teams have shown solid defensive play in recent games. The Oilers have allowed fewer goals at home, and the Flyers have struggled to score consistently on the road. In their recent away games, the Flyers have only managed to score one goal in both losses to the Flames and the Kraken. This trend supports the prediction that the total goals will stay under 6.5 in this game.
