Nashville Predators vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

The Oilers should be favored at home, especially when they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Predators. We’ve faded the Predators a lot this season. However, the Predators have turned their season around over the last two weeks and will have value in the underdog role as long as it continues. The Oilers have been hit or miss all year and, with losses in 3 of their last 4 games, right now it’s a lot of missing. The Predators are enjoying a strong road trip and the offense is rolling. I’ll take a stab with the plus money.
