4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Predators +1.5
If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Lightning to take down the Predators at home. With the moneyline currently at -166, I’m placing my bet on the Lightning straight-up. If we look back to last year Tampa Bay were 2-4 SU in their last 6 games at home.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Predators to cover. Even if the Lightning win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Predators should cover the puck line.
For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
We’ve seen the total has go OVER in 5 of the Preds last 6 games when playing on the road against TB.
All in all, Tampa Bay will win this matchup, the Predators will cover the +1.5, and the total will go OVER.
