The Arizona Coyotes aren’t good, and that includes piling up losses against bad teams. With that said, we’re not going to act like the Nashville Predators are world beaters, as their offense still has yet to get rolling. I’m not laying -200 juice with the Predators, and they don’t score enough to cover a PL. So, if forced to pick, give me the Coyotes and the potential big payout.
