Pick
I’m backing the over here. I don’t trust either side right now, but especially the Flyers who have given up handfuls of goals in recent games. On the other side, Carolina is the better team but they haven’t played like it as of late, and I’m not willing to lay this kind of price. Give me the over here as I’m expecting goals on both sides here.
