BTB Betting Pick

The Colorado Avalanche are favored with a moneyline of -178 against the Edmonton Oilers, who are at +151. The Avalanche have strong offensive stats, ranking first in goals and assists this season. Given these stats and the moneyline, picking the Avalanche to win straight up seems like a good choice. The projected score is Colorado 5, Edmonton 3.

The over/under line is set at 7.0 with the under at -116. Both teams show high offensive numbers, but Colorado’s defense is top-ranked in goals against. This suggests a lower-scoring game than expected. Thus, the recommendation is to go with the under. The projected total score is 8, but strong defense could keep it lower.
