Anaheim Ducks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction
The Anaheim Ducks have been decent enough over the last couple of weeks to give a look in the underdog role. The problem is, the Ducks aren’t consistent enough to trust against respectable teams. The New Jersey Devils are not only far and away the more talented team, but they have 12 wins on the road. The Devils are the same team regardless of venue, and it’s hard to step in front of them against lesser competition. The Devils blasted the Ducks back in October by a score of 6-2. There’s only one way to go in this spot. Give me the Devils and the PL for max betting value.
