Kings at Flyers picks and predictions
Prediction
Flyers 4, Kings 2
Moneyline
The FLYERS (+120) are a sharp play on home ice against the visiting Kings (-140).
The Kings are just 1-5 in the last 6 tries against Eastern Conference teams, while losing 7 in a row against Metropolitan Division clubs.
On the flip side, the Fly Guys have won 4 in a row against Pacific Division teams, while going 5-2 in the last 7 against Western Conference foes.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Flyers +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return if you need insurance and can’t play Philly straight up, but that’s not a recommended play. If you like Philadelphia, just play it straight up.
AVOID.
Over/Under
The OVER 5.5 (-135) is a little on the expensive side, but it’s a decent half-unit play.
The Over is 5-2-1 in the last 8 games overall for Los Angeles, while going 6-1 in the last 7 games against Metropolitan Division teams. The Over is 7-1 in the last 8 games overall for Philadelphia, too.
