Utah Mammoth vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction
The Mammoth are obviously the better team here, playing the better hockey and they should be big favorites. The Blackhawks can’t finish games and can’t find that extra spark offensively most nights. However, it feels like the Mammoth are getting too much love from oddsmakers recently and you’re kind of waiting for a slip-up you can take advantage of. The Blackhawks don’t win a lot but they compete and have earned points in three straight games. We’re getting two times our money with a team that plays hard. I’ll take a shot with the Blackhawks at home at this price.
