Devils vs Oilers Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Devils to pick up on a win over the Oilers and the road. With the moneyline sitting at -116, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Devils straight-up.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Oilers to cover. Even if the Devils win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Oilers should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
