SourcePick Ideas
Carolina moneyline: avoid the premium
At -192, Carolina is expensive despite coming off a seven-goal performance. Philadelphia's 1-9 recent run supports Carolina's side, but the price demands a substantially better number before considering the Hurricanes.
Under 5.5: the better total direction
Philadelphia's recent average of 1.2 points for and the Flyers' 3-2 overtime loss in the latest meeting support a lower-scoring angle. The Under 5.5 is more attractive than paying -145 for an Over built largely on Carolina's recent offensive outburst.
Philadelphia moneyline: require a major price
Philadelphia's 1-9 stretch, possible blue-line absence, and 0-for-4 power play in the recent meeting make the Flyers difficult to back outright. Any Philadelphia moneyline consideration would need to compensate heavily for those matchup and form concerns.
