Flyers vs Devils Betting Prediction

The Flyers are the better defensive team and in the last game they didn’t give up a goal. In this game, the Flyers are going to lockdown with the defense and that is going to be the difference here. The Flyers might only score two or three goals, but with the way their defense has played they are going to lockdown and get the job done here. Back the Flyers. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
