Kings vs Ducks Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Ducks to come out with a win against the Kings while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +161, I’m placing my bet on the Ducks to win outright.

Our projections have the Ducks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Ducks, 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.
