The Lean
For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Devils to secure a victory over the Oilers on the road. With the moneyline currently set at -116, I’m locking in my bet on the Devils straight-up.
If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Oilers to cover. Even if the Devils manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Oilers should cover the puck line.
With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
