Flyers vs Devils Prediction
I considered the Flyers and the plus money because neither Philly nor the Devils are having a great week. It’s easy to just take a shot with the home team and the more favorable price. Also, early starts usually favor the home team. With that said, the Devils are the better team overall, and I’m banking on them rebounding quicker. The Devils have 18 road wins this season, and they smoked the Flyers 5-0 a little over a month ago. The Flyers have seen 16 of their 29 losses come at home. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Devils on the road early Sunday.
