Oilers vs Kings Prediction

You can make a case for either of these contenders, as the Oilers and Kings have been great all season. The issue is that we’re getting a true pick’em price, so I have to lean toward the Oilers at home. The Kings aren’t nearly the same team on the road as they are at home, as it’s where 19 of their 24 losses have come this season. The Oilers are coming off a strong week of three straight wins where the offense has found success.

The Oilers are dealing with endless injuries, but the firepower is still there. Also, the Oilers have won seven of the last 10 games against the Kings. Give me some plus money, and I’d consider the Kings. At this price, I have to side with the Oilers on their home ice.
