Sportsbooks Change Direction, Now Leaning Florida + Best Bet

After coming out of Edmonton, NHL betting sites have now changed course and are now in favor of the Panthers to win the Stanley Cup Championship. This comes after odds opened in favor of the Oilers at -128 prior to Game 1.

As far as where we’re leaning and where bettors should be laying their action, it should be on the over in total points. After the offensive clinic that was put on in Game 2, it’s hard to see sportsbooks sticking to their guns here and keeping the total at 6.5.

Both games thus far in the finals have gone over 6.5 goals with Game 1 finishing at a seven-goal total and Game 2 at nine goals. These are two of the top three offenses in the playoffs this season and have both trended over 6.5 goals throughout their postseason runs. Edmonton has gone over in 12 of their 18 playoff games while Florida has hit the over in 12 of their 19 games.

For what it’s worth, both of their regular season meetings also went over a 6.5 goal total as well.
