Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers Series Prediction and Betting Tips

Prediction: Avalanche win the series 4-2

Colorado is a good bet to win the series. They are still the favorite to win the Stanley Cup, and their solid lineup has yielded an 8-2 record this postseason.

The Oilers were in the bottom half of the league in goals allowed this season. They have given up 33 goals in 12 games during the playoffs. Even though they found some success on defense in the first two series, they will be facing the best offense so far.

Bet on the total games and series score in this matchup. As the favorite, Colorado will not yield as big of a payout on the moneyline. However, there is still value in other places. Expect the series to go at least 6 games with the Avs moving on into the Stanley Cup Final.
