Expert Betting Tips

We're in full agreement with the bookies here. Edmonton has the better shot, and St. Louis is holding their own in the mid-tier this season, but it's gonna be tough for them to make it into the wild card zone. The Oilers, on the other hand, are top three in the Western Conference. We suggest not making anything up and betting on a clean win for the second team, based on the skill difference.
