Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

I’m on the Wild here. The Oilers continue to be one of the more inconsistent teams out there, and while the Wild’s level of comPetition on the road as of late has left something to be desired, I still think they’ll be able to hold their own. The Oilers have lost you the 2^nd-most amount of money if you bet on them in all of their home Games this season and I think this is just another spot where they’re overpriced. Give me Minnesota.
