10* BEST OF THE BEST (THIS IS THE BIG ONE!)
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: 109.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think Philly will extend this series at least one more game. Down 3-1, I like Philadelphia to give its best effort yet of this series. Much like the Avalanche did last night vs. the Stars. Dallas came back down to Earth last night and I believe that the same thing is going to happen to the Isles here. One team is desperate and the other is complacent. With a line like this, the oddsmakers believe this is a very even game, but the motivation levels/factor tip the scales in favor of the Flyers in my opinion.

The pick: Additionally note that Philly is 7-2 in its last nine after a one-goal loss. The Flyers had a lead going into the third period last time out and messed up, but I don't expect that to happen again. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value."

The is a 10* BEST OF THE BEST on the Philadelphia Flyers.
