Sunday NHL Free Pick
(The Spread) – A rivalry resumes Sunday night in the NHL as the Boston Bruins still have last year’s playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers in the back of their minds.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Philadelphia a -130 favorite and Boston a +110 underdog, while the over-under is set at 5.5.
Philadelphia is 45-19-10 overall and 21-10-6 on its home ice this season, while Boston 41-23-10 overall and 23-10-5 on the road.
According to the latest trends, Philadelphia is 9-9-0 straight up against Boston over the last three seasons. Nine of 16 games in this series have gone over the total in the last three seasons. Philadelphia is 57-66 ATS in home games revenging a loss versus opponent since 1996.

NHL Prediction: Ever since the Bruins blew a 3-0 series lead in the playoffs to the Flyers in the 2010 NHL Playoffs, Boston has wanted to exact some amount of revenge on its conference rivals. Currently, the Bruins lead the season series as they have won two of the three matchups. With there being no certainties that the two squads will match up again in the playoffs, look for Boston to bring its ‘A’ game on the road for the last game between the two in the regular season. I’m taking Boston +110.
