Panthers vs Oilers Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Panthers to come out with a win against the Oilers while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at +115, I’m placing my bet on the Panthers to win outright.

Our projections have the Panthers pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Panthers, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
