Flyers vs. Devils Prediction

I’m on the Flyers here. I just can’t lay this kind of price with New Jersey after how poor they looked against Anaheim. Philadelphia’s been sneaky good on the road this season and I just think that they find a way to get it done and bring some value along with it. Give me Philly and the plus price here.
