Over the past two-weeks, the Flyers have shown they are ready for the playoffs. Game after game, performance after performance, the Flyers have regained their pre-covid form somewhat immediately.

“The Flyers entered the bubble with odds of +1300, putting them seventh-favorites with oddsmakers’ to win the Stanley Cup; following consecutive wins over the Caps, Bruins and Lightning, Philadelphia is now vying for favoritism. Their best odds of winning the thing are now +550.” – Oddschecker Pete Watt
The Flyers are co-favorites on almost every sportsbook. The Flyers average, +600 according to oddschecker, is tied for the favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
Tonight is Game1 in the Flyers push for the Stanley Cup. Here are a couple bets that could hit tonight…
Currently, the Flyers are moneyline favorites. Depending on the site, the range is between -142 & -167. But, if you take the Flyers to win by 2-goals, your odds improve dramatically.
If you are betting on the Flyers to win, go with Flyers -1.5. The odds will be in your favor. Ranging from +175 to +200.
FoxBet has a very enticing odds boost for Sean Couturier. The Flyers only got 1-goal from the top line during the round-robin and that was Joel Farabee. Sean Couturier added two assists in the Flyers final round robin game vs the Lightning. But, started to knock on the door for a goal towards the end of the game.
If you are betting on the Sean Couturier to score, go with Sean Couturier to score & Flyers win odds boost. That will net you $5.25 on every dollar you bet.
The over/under for the game is set at 5. A very similar number to the Flyers vs Canadiens games this season. The Flyers won both overtime games, 4-3 & 3-2, vs the Canadiens this season while dropping a 4-1 contest in regulation. However, all three games would hit that over/under number tonight.
If you are betting on a Flyers win, go with the under. Both goalies are playing good hockey right now. For the Flyers to win, a low scoring, low shots on goal game will have to be played.
