Panthers vs Flyers Prediction
When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flyers to come out with a win against the Panthers while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +135, I’m placing my bet on the Flyers to win outright.
If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Flyers winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Flyers straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
