Blues vs Mammoth Prediction
I’m on Utah here. I just think Utah’s the better team right now. St. Louis has simply put up too many duds for my liking, including that OT loss to L.A. Utah on the other side is coming off of another win, this time over a solid Colorado team. While all of those games have been at home, I think that narrative is giving us a great price with them on the road. Give me the Mammoth.
