Mammoth vs Predators Prediction
I’ve faded the Predators a lot this season, and they’re just not a team I’m excited to back. However, the plus money is attractive in this spot. The Mammoth have lost 6 of their last 10 games and their offense has disappeared often during this stretch. The Mammoth have scored 1 or fewer goals in 3 of their last 5 games. The Preds have enjoyed their best stretch of the season, which includes wins in 6 of their last 9 games. We’re getting the team in better form at the more favorable price. Give me the Predators in a rare back.
