Devils vs Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. The Devils for my money continue to be overpriced and a team I have a hard time backing game in and game out because you never really know what to expect from this team. Sweeping a home and home can be tricky with the quick revenge factor at play, but in the end, I just think that the value is on the Flyers in this game and if this price was closer to a coin flip, you might have an easier time convincing me to back the Devils here. But as it stands, I’m taking the Flyers and the hefty plus money.
