This is an 8* INTERCONTINENTAL EXPRESS on the Philadelphia Flyers.

I made a play on the Tampa Bay Lightning last night, and they'd go on to annihilate the Canadiens 7-1. Montreal had gone 3-0 to start the year and was playing the final game of a four game opening road trip before enjoying two days off and returning home. This is the exact same situation, the Ducks though are 2-1 (coming off a blowout over the Sabres), are playing the final game of an opening four game road trip before heading home for two days off. The Flyers are 0-2 and are clearly the "hungrier" team here. I am a situational handicapper at heart, this one just screams value. I am not trying to convince you that Philadelphia is a better team than Anaheim, but in my opinion, the stars have truly aligned for us here. Expect the home side to risk life and limb to get into shooting and passing lanes as it desperately tries to avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole. The visitors will put up a fight, but then take comfort in the fact that they can play an extended stretch in front of the home town crowd after a two-day break; all signs point to the FLYERS as the sharp wager in this one.
