Flyers at Ducks picks and predictions
Prediction
Flyers 4, Ducks 3
Moneyline
The FLYERS (-110) have picked up a little steam on the left coast, topping both the Sharks and Kings. Philadelphia has won 3 of the last 5 games overall, and 6 of the last 7 losses since Dec. 9 are by just 1 goal.
The Ducks (-110) were annihilated by the Preds last time out, and it won’t have anything for the Fly Guys. Anaheim is just 7-19 in the past 26 skates on “The Pond”, too, while going 4-10 in the previous 14 against the Metropolitan Division.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Ducks +1.5 (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return if you want a little insurance and don’t trust them straight up. That’s too expensive, though, and there is very little value playing the puck line ‘dogs.
PASS.
Over/Under
OVER 6.5 (+105) is worth a roll of the dice at plus-money.
The Over has hit in 5 of the last 6 games overall for the Fly Guys, while cashing in 4 straight against teams with a losing overall record.
While the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 games for the Ducks, the Over has connected in 8 of the last 10 games against Metropolitan Division foes, while going 4-1 in the last 5 against teams with a winning percentage under .400.
