I know that Nashville has home ice here and they are a decent sized favorite to win, but they have not played well at all in their last eight games. The Ducks have really surprised me this year so far with how well they have played and they are 4-2 on the road so far this season. The Predators are allowing over 3 goals per game this year and they have allowed 7, 6, and 4 goals in their last three games. It's not that hard of a choice for me here, This Nashville team is a hot mess right now, so I am going to take the Ducks with the plus money here! It's strictly a value play and there is just no way I can back the predators until i see some kind of effort from this team! Good luck and lets cash!!
