The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from winning the Stanley Cup after facing a 3-0 series deficit, which has not happened since 1942. Plus, there’s heavy juice on under 5.5, despite four straight games going over the total.

The old cliche says no better word. The old cliche says two best words in all of sports, game seven. And we didn’t think we’d be here after that 3 -0 series lead, right? But Edmonton has come storming back and the betting market certainly suggests the power rating or whatever you want to call it. Florida is by no means the same team it was a few games ago. Minus 110 on a few 10 cent lines at some books, but mostly minus 115 some 120 out there and the over under is five and a half and the under is considerably juiced -155.
Obviously game sevens tighter defense all that stuff. No one wants to make a mistake We’ve seen game sevens go under so that’s why it’s under is so heavily juiced But the despite four straight overs in the series. Yeah, I got there with some empty netters the other day.
How could someone possibly bet Florida? Now, sharp money did come in at minus 110 one oddsmaker told me. So now that’s just the math guys playing the math and I understand it, but I could not possibly bet Florida in this game, just the momentum. And I think whoever scores first, like I’m going to live bet Edmonton if they score first. I think the Panthers are on tilt and given what happened last year in the closeout game, they unraveled and gave up a million goals. So I do like live betting if Edmonton scores first. It’s going to be monumental in terms of influence in the game.
I did find a prop I also like. The team to score last in regulation only, Edmonton -105. I just think there are a lot of, a lot more ways to win that than lose. Because as I was saying, if Edmonton has the lead, they’re going to kind of blow them out in my opinion. And if they’re getting blown out, like I could see them tying the game or something like that. I think a comeback’s in the card. So small bet.
But I do like the minus 105 angle because I think there’s more ways to win and this game can go several different ways. One other sharp bet that was passed along under one and a half in the first period. I can see that too. I believe five of the last six games, five of the six games in this series have gone under in the first period. So that’s been certainly a cash cow throughout, but it’s, we’re going to either see a Canadian team win for the first time since the early nineties, first team in eons to come back from three in the Stanley Cup final or the Panthers will in fact get it done.
