Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers Prediction
The Oilers and the plus money is appealing when you consider how explosive they’ve been in these playoffs. The Oilers also have 29 road wins. I get it. However, I’ve said throughout most of the season and these playoffs especially that the Panthers are the team to beat and not a team I’m excited to bet against as long as the number is reasonable. The Panthers check all of the boxes for a championship team, and you can argue they should be up 2-0 in this series after having a two goal lead in game 1. The Panthers have now won four of the last five games against the Oilers. The Panthers have won 14 of their last 19 games as a home favorite. The price is reasonable. I’m rolling with the Panthers.
