Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Rangers Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Flyers here. These are two teams that are both playing fairly well right now and while the Rangers feel like they’ve had the more consistent success over a longer period, the Flyers are in a bit of a hot run of form right now to where I just think we’re getting a nice extra bit of plus money compared to where I think the line should be. The Flyers won the first meeting in Philly this season but I don’t think the Rangers get their revenge here. Give me the Flyers and the plus money.
