Devils vs Flyers Prediction

This line makes no sense. I understand the Devils are playing well and are at home, but the Flyers are playing better hockey overall; they’ve dominated the last two games against the Devils, and they’re in far and away a better position to sneak into the playoffs. Motivation matters this time of year and the Flyers should be more upbeat as they’re in the thick of the playoff conversation. I’m taking the plus money with Philly on the road.
