The set-up: So far the first two games of this series have fallen UNDER the number (or pushed in Game 2, depending on the line you got), but now that the "feel out" stage is done between these clubs, I finally expect a much more wide-open affair in Game 3. Especially from the Flyers, as they now face their first adversity since the re-start. Philadelphia looked completely unstoppable up to this point, so the Flyers will clearly be looking to push the pace from the opening face off, until the final horn. And for the Habs, they've proven that they can easily score in this series as well.

The pick: Additionally note that the Flyers have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 after getting shutout and losing by five or more goals in their previous game. Don't be shocked if this one flies over sometime in the second period.

This is a 10* EASTERN-CONFERENCE PLAYOFF TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER Flyers/Habs.
