Flyers at Oilers picks and predictions
Prediction
Oilers 6, Flyers 3
Moneyline
PASS.
The Oilers (-320) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 3 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Edmonton should bounce back and win by multiple goals. Bet the puck line and/or total instead.
Puck line/Against the spread
BET OILERS -1.5 (-135).
Edmonton has blown 3-goal leads in back-to-back games and it is very unlikely that the Oilers would blow another lead Tuesday if they can build one early. The Flyers’ last 2 losses have both been by 4 goals and Philadelphia is 15-41 in its last 56 games on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Look for the Flyers to let down after pulling off the upset as big underdogs at Calgary Monday.
Over/Under
BET OVER 6.5 (-140).
The Over is 4-0 in Philadelphia’s last 4 games and 6-1-1 in the Flyers’ last 8 on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. The Over has hit in 14 of Edmonton’s last 17 games vs. teams with a winning percentage below .400 and is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these teams in Edmonton.
