Seattle +120 over New Jersey
7:00PM EST Seattle on the money line against New Jersey offers value when the price is weighed against how these teams actually perform in competitive game environments. The Devils continue to be priced like a top-tier contender, yet their results often fluctuate when facing structured, defensively responsible opponents. Seattle doesn’t rely on flash or offensive surges to win games; they’re comfortable grinding out results, staying within a tight game script, and capitalizing on limited chances. When the market inflates New Jersey’s number, it opens the door for a value-based play on the underdog.
Scheduling further tilts this matchup toward Seattle. New Jersey is in a spot where pace and execution can dip, particularly if travel or a condensed run of games limits recovery. Teams built around speed tend to lose their edge in these situations, and small breakdowns can quickly turn into costly goals. Seattle, by contrast, is well suited for this type of schedule dynamic, leaning on structure, discipline, and patience rather than high-tempo play.
From a wagering standpoint, this is a bet on price and situation rather than perceived upside. Seattle doesn’t need to control the game for long stretches to win outright; they simply need to keep things tight and wait for opportunities, which is exactly where New Jersey has shown vulnerability. With the scheduling context working against the Devils and the market still favoring them heavily, backing Seattle on the money line represents a calculated value position rather than a reach.

Philadelphia +120 over Buffalo
7:00 PM EST. The market continues to overrate Buffalo’s recent win streak while overlooking how those wins have been achieved. The Sabres’ surge has been driven by finishing efficiency rather than strong defensive play, and that’s a dangerous profile to lay a price with long term. Philadelphia, meanwhile, remains a fundamentally sound even-strength team that plays a tighter, more repeatable game, making them a live underdog whenever the line implies they’re clearly inferior.
From a matchup perspective, Buffalo’s defensive weaknesses matter here. They continue to allow high-danger chances at a rate that doesn’t align with their recent results, and those cracks tend to show up against teams willing to forecheck and force extended zone time. Philadelphia doesn’t rely on rush scoring or unsustainable shooting spikes; they generate offense through pressure, second chances, and volume, which is exactly the style that can neutralize Buffalo’s skill edge.
This ultimately comes down to price sensitivity. Buffalo may very well be the more talented roster, but the gap between these teams is not large enough to justify Philadelphia sitting at +120. In games like this, bettors don’t need the underdog to be better — they need them to be competitive, structured, and capable of capitalizing on mistakes. With Philadelphia checking those boxes and the market shading too far toward Buffalo’s momentum, the Flyers represent the sharper side at this number.
