Ducks vs. Maple Leafs Prediction
The Ducks have mopped the floor with bad opponents and they’ll have an opportunity to beat another team with a losing record when they visit the Maple Leafs tonight.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Ducks are -205 money line favorites versus the Maple Leafs, who have odds of +175 to pull off the upset at home tonight. As for the total, the number sits at 5 goals for the 7:30PM ET contest.
Bet Tonight’s Ducks vs. Maple Leafs Game
The Ducks are 10-2 in their last 12 games versus a team with a losing record and if you want to lay the -205, you’re welcome to in efforts to collect what should be a relatively easy win. But there’s a lot of risk involved in laying that sort of price on a road team, so the total might offer more value.
The over is 12-4-5 in the Ducks’ last 21 road games and is also 15-7-5 in their last 27 games overall. The over has also been profitable in recent Maple Leaf home games, as it’s 3-0-3 in their last six games at X. The over is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings between these two teams in Toronto as well.
