Anaheim +102 over Philadelphia
OT Included. The Ducks are very simply not getting the market credit they deserve and we need not look further than this game for more proof of exactly that. You see, Anaheim is 7-5-0 while Philadelphia is 5-7-1 yet when these two played back in Philadelphia on Oct 28, the Flyers were -165. If Philadelphia was -165 in Philadelphia, how can Anaheim only be a pick ‘em back in its home barn? Is Philadelphia better than the Ducks? We say no fu**ing way.
Anaheim has beaten both Vegas and Boston. Combined that pair was 19-0-2 two weeks ago but the Ducks beat ‘em both and it wasn’t a fluke. They have lost by one goal to Carolina, Boston (B’s added an empty netter to make the final 3-1), Arizona and Dallas while Philadelphia’s best win was against whom? Columbus? Edmonton? Minnesota? Buffalo?
Anaheim has great goaltending, a chip on its shoulders, one quality win after another and one quality loss after another while the Flyers have none of the same. Win, lose or otherwise, the value here on Anaheim as a pooch at home is off the charts and must be played.
