Pick: Predators +155

The Nashville Predators are just 3 points off the Calgary Flames with 76 points and yet the NHL sports betting odds have the Flames as a favorite. This is the final meeting of the Western Canadian leg of the Predators road trip tonight when they face the Flames in Calgary. The Predators shutout the Flames, 3-0 at Sommet Center in their last meeting on Jan. 15. Oddsmakers currently have the Flames listed as 175-moneyline favorites versus the Predators, while the game's total is sitting at 5.

The Nashville Predators are one of the most surprising teams of the NHL as they have continued to surprise and play consistent all season long. Even with our Peter Forsberg, Scott Hartnell and Paul Kariya the Predators are a team that plays well and does not go on long wining or long losing streaks.

Yes the Flames are hot as both goal tenders at playing very well but if you have watched the last head to head NHL match ups between the two you know this is not a -175 NHL betting game.

Bottom Line: The Nashville Predators are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings against the Flames so why does that explain a -175 moneyline game? Go with the Predators who have Flames number. Nashville are 9-1 in their last 10 games following a loss of 3 or more goals and 9-2 in their last 11 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game and are 17-4 in their last 21 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.

Betting wise I love this NHL dog pick. At +155 and with their success against the Flames in the past I love this online NHL bet to make.
