Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
You can make a case for the Golden Knights and the plus money because the road team has won each of the last four games and five of the last six. I’m still going to side with the Oilers because we’re not getting enough bang for our buck. The Oilers have to feel like they let game 3 get away after starting the game with a 2-0 lead, and they’re an experienced team that should be able to get off the canvas. The Oilers worked hard to steal two games in Vegas and it would be a mistake to let that go to waste and allow the Golden Knights back in this series. At some point a home team has to win between these teams. I’d need more plus money to give Vegas a serious look. Give me the Oilers and the cheap price.
