Predators vs Blues Prediction
The Predators have played their best hockey by far on their home ice, so I somewhat get this line. However, it’s not enough. The Blues are as hot as any team in the league, with wins in eight of their last 10 games and clicking at both ends of the ice.
The Blues have beaten the Predators twice this month, outscoring them a combined 8-2 in those games. We’ve been backing the Blues a lot over the last month, and there’s no reason to stop now. Oddsmakers keep throwing out these softball lines for some reason. Give me the Blues to keep the hot stretch going.
