This is a 10* REVENGE BK on the Flyers.

Both teams have been great this year, but Philly plays with revenge after a 3-2 OT loss at Nashville two weeks ago, and note that the Flyers are 3-1 in their last four in trying to avenge a road loss as an underdog vs. an opponent.

Since then the Flyers have won three straight. With a game at Detroit tomorrow, followed by road games after X-Mas at Vancouver and Seattle, tonight's contest takes on added importance for the home side as well.

Nashville is off the 5-2 home loss to the Canucks, snapping a four-game win streak. With two upcoming home games over X-Mas vs. Dallas and Carolina, I say this sets up as a classic "look ahead" spot for the visitors as well.

All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value."

The play is indeed on PHILADELPHIA.

Good luck, NP
