New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

The New Jersey Devils are the more talented team and are getting the nod from oddsmakers because they’re supposed to be the better team. The problem is, that the Devils have underachieved for much of the last few weeks. The Flyers have also won three of the last four games against the Devils, which includes a 3–1 victory nine days ago as a +160 underdogs. The Devils have lost five of their last eight games and the offense has disappeared for stretches. The Flyers have won three straight home games, and they need to keep that up if they’re going to start chipping away in the standings. You can make money fading the Devils as long as they continue to pick their spots when to show up. Give me the Flyers and the plus money.
