Devils vs Flyers Prediction

The New Jersey Devils are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and on paper they’re the better team. The problem is the Devils have been shaky at best as of late, and that includes four straight overtime games and losses in three of those contests. The Flyers continue to win just enough to be a sneaky underdog bet, and their offense has come to life lately. The Flyers have scored four or more goals in three of their last four games. A bit of a rivalry in this spot, and the Flyers have 10 road wins. I’ll take a stab with the road dog as this line is a bit too steep.
