I’m not running to the window to back either of these losing teams, but if forced to pick, I’m going to side with the home club and the team that’s paying out a slightly cheaper price. I’m not sure how anybody could lay juice with the Flyers on the road with the way they’re playing. Heck, playing losing teams doesn’t help the Flyers either. It’s Coyotes or pass for me in this spot.
