Buffalo Sabres vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

The Sabres are playing the better hockey right now, but as I’ve said many times in the past, they’re one of those teams that lets you down the second you start believing. The Sabres have lost 21 games on the road, while 17 of the Flyers’ 29 wins have come at home. The Flyers are coming off a nice upset win over the Habs, where the offense got rolling, and early start times usually favor the home team. Pretty much a pick ’em spot. I’ll give the edge to the Flyers on their home ice.
