Florida Panthers Vs Edmonton Oilers, NHL Odds & Betting Preview

Written by on January 7, 2016

The Florida Panthers will go on the road and take on the Edmonton Oilers in a National Hockey League game. This is a complete contrast of teams as the Panthers are in first place in the Atlantic Division and the Oilers are sitting in last place in the Pacific Division. This game will take place on Sunday, January 10th at 9:30 PM EST in Edmonton.

How To Bet The Florida Panthers Vs Edmonton Oilers

It is still a bit early to get an actual betting line for this NHL game. But you can check the NHL odds over at XBet.ag closer to game time to get updated odds. I anticipate the Panthers to be -200 or so favorites on the road in this game with the total sitting around 5 goals. These two teams have not yet played this year and went 1-1 SU against each other last season.

Why Bet on the Florida Panthers NHL Odds

The Florida Panthers are one of the top teams in all of hockey. They are currently 24-12 and sitting atop the Eastern Conference Atlantic Standings. They play well on the road as well with a 11-6 Away record currently. The Panthers are riding an impressive 10 game winning streak and I wouldn’t expect the Oilers to stand in their way of adding to that. They have one of the better goaltenders in the league in Roberto Luongo. Assuming he is in net for this game I would say betting on the Panthers to win the game is a great hockey bet.

Why Bet on the Edmonton Oilers NHL Odds

It’s tough to find many reason to bet on the Edmonton Oilers in this game. But there are a few. First, the Oilers are a way better hockey team when playing at home than they are on the road. They boast a 12-7 home record while they are just 5-14 on the road. Secondly, they have won a couple close games in a row and may be getting some momentum. Their goalie duo of Cam Talbot and Nilsson aren’t the best in the league, but they can put up good games on occasion. If the goalie comes to play in this one they could shock the Panthers and be a decent underdog home bet at XBet.ag! oilers-goalie-cam-talbot

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

It’s time to take a look at my pick for this NHL game on Sunday, January 10th. I am pretty confident that the Florida Panthers are going to win this game. They are a much better team, they are healthy, and they are playing great hockey (10 game winning streak). The home ice advantage isn’t quite enough for me to take the risk and bet on the Oilers. I do want to see where this line ends up. If it’s anywhere under Panthers -200 I’ll be placing a bet at XBet.ag on Florida. My final score prediction is Florida 4 and Edmonton 2.
