Predators at Avalanche picks and predictions

Prediction

Avalanche 6, Predators 2

Money line

The Avalanche (-380) are the heaviest favorites of the postseason so far, and will cost you nearly four times your potential return. You can't do that, though.

AVOID, and look to the puck line instead.

Against the spread

The AVALANCHE -1.5 (-145) are still a little on the expensive side, but the much better play. The Predators have too much uncertainty in between the pipes, as Ingram or Rittich are just too shaky right now, and they do not have the offensive weapons to keep up with the very deep Avs.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-140) is the play here. Colorado took care of the Over themselves in Game 1, and nearly did it in the first period.

The Over has cashed in 6 outings in a row for Nashville, while going 7-1 in its last 8 contests as a road underdog. The Over is 14-5 in the past 19 as a playoff favorite for Colorado, too, while going 4-1 in its last five as a home fave.
