Mammoth vs Stars Prediction

The Mammoth have been good at home and beat the Stars a couple of weeks ago. You can make a case for Utah in this spot, especially with the Stars being shaky at best over the last few weeks. However, the Stars have righted the ship over the last week, and they’re still one of the best teams in the league when right. When given mostly a pick ’em price, I’m usually going to side with the better team regardless of where the game is being played. We’re not getting any bang for our buck with the Mammoth here. Give me the Stars and the cheap price.
