Flyers vs Blue Jackets Prediction
In this Flyers vs Blue Jackets Prediction, the Blue Jackets are coming as -135 home favorites. Both teams are coming into this matchup in poor form, as the Blue Jackets are 2-5 in their last 7 games but have been far better at home, with six of their seven wins this season coming at home ice, while the Flyers are 2-7 in their last 9 games and have only two wins on the road and the second-worst offense in hockey, so I like the hosts to get the job done in this one. Take the Blue Jackets on the moneyline.
The Blue Jackets have won their last six meetings against the Flyers and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Columbus. Under is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
