Philadelphia Flyers vs Colorado Avalanche prediction
The Colorado Avalanche are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re still one of the more talented teams in the league, and they’re at home. With that said, the Avs have gone through it over the last week or so, and I’m not running to the window to lay juice, especially massive juice. The Philadelphia Flyers are playing the better hockey right now, and the defense remains solid. We’re getting almost two times our money. I don’t care where the game is played. Give me the road dog in Philly.
