4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Blue Jackets +1.5
When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Oilers. Nevertheless, given the payout of -370, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Blue Jackets to cover. Even if the Oilers win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Blue Jackets should cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 7 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
