Oilers vs. Red Wings Pick
Money line pick for Oilers vs. Red Wings
- Oilers ML -135 (5 units)
Although Detroit has been off to a hot start and the Oilers are in the second half of the back-to-back, this is a good spot for the Oilers to get the win. Detroit's offense has struggled to score, and that should be an issue against a high-flying, potent Edmonton offense. McDavid should lead the way for the Oilers to get a big road win here.
Over/Under Pick for Oilers vs. Red Wings
- Under 6.5 goals -125 (4 units)
The under is a good spot here as both goalies should be hard to beat, while both offenses have struggled to score at times. Detroit plays a very defensive style of game, which will limit the scoring on both ends. The Oilers are 3-1 in hitting the under this season, while the Red Wings are 4-1 in hitting the under, so look for those trends to continue here.
