This Saturday, October 10, the Utah Mammoth visit the Buffalo Sabres in what looks to be a close game. Utah enters with a slightly better record at 3-2, compared to Buffalo’s 2-2. The Mammoth are the away team and are favored on the moneyline at -112, meaning a $112 bet would win $100. Buffalo is a slight underdog at -108, which is nearly even odds, indicating the game could go either way.
Looking at the spread, Utah is favored to win by at least 1.5 goals at +220 odds. This means a $100 bet would pay $220 if Utah covers the spread. Conversely, Buffalo has +1.5 goals at -270, so you’d need to bet $270 to win $100 on Buffalo keeping the game within 1 goal or winning outright. The large difference in spread odds suggests sportsbooks see Utah as the stronger team but expect a competitive game.
The total is set at 6.5 goals. The under is favored at -122, which means you’d bet $122 to win $100 on fewer than 7 goals scored in total. The over pays slightly more at +102, or $102 on a $100 bet, signaling a modest lean towards a lower-scoring game.
In summary, Utah looks like the favorite but Buffalo is close enough to keep things tight. Betting the under on total goals seems reasonable given the odds. If you want to play it safe, backing Buffalo with the spread could also be a solid option.
