Utah Mammoth vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
The Mammoth continue to compete and scrape together points, so you can make a case for the big plus money. The Mammoth also beat the Avs a month ago, which isn’t something many teams can say this season. However, the Avalanche have been so consistent on both sides of the ice and are cashing tickets left and right. It’s even scarier on their home ice. I’m not in the business of betting against the Avalanche in their current form. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value. There’s not much more that needs to be said about this team.
