The Ottawa Senators come into this game with a strong 6-2 record, while the Philadelphia Flyers are struggling at 0-6. These records set the stage for a clear favorite in this matchup. The Senators are the away team and are priced at -148 on the moneyline, meaning you’d need to bet $148 to win $100. The Flyers are underdogs at +124, so a $100 bet would win you $124 if they pull off an upset.
Looking at the spread, Ottawa is favored by 1.5 goals at +185 odds. This means a $100 bet on Ottawa covering the spread would win $185 if they win by two or more goals. Philadelphia, on the other hand, has a +1.5 goal spread at -225, so you’d have to risk $225 to win $100 on the Flyers keeping the game within one goal or winning outright.
The total is set at 5.5 goals, with the over priced slightly at -108 and the under at -112. This suggests the sportsbook expects a moderately scoring game, but the lines are close enough that betting either side is a toss-up.
Given Ottawa’s solid start and Philadelphia’s struggles, the Senators look like the safer pick. Betting Ottawa moneyline offers a straightforward way to back the favorite. For those wanting more risk and reward, Ottawa covering the -1.5 spread at +185 is tempting if you expect a decisive win. The total goals market is less clear, so it might be best to focus on the moneyline or spread here.
