Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The 'Under 10.5' bet is a logical choice considering the recent scoring trends and defensive performances of both the Dallas Stars and Philadelphia Flyers. The Stars have averaged 2.8 goals per home game in their last 5 games, while the Flyers have averaged 3.2 goals in their recent away games. The combined average is significantly lower than the 10.5 line. Furthermore, both teams have maintained a steady defensive line, with the Stars allowing an average of 2.4 goals per home game and the Flyers permitting 3.2 goals per away game. Moreover, the model prediction of 1.35 also underscores a low scoring game. Taking these stats into account, it is quite unlikely that the combined total of goals will exceed 10.5, thus making the 'Under 10.5' bet a reasonable choice.

The bet on Philadelphia Flyers 1.5 is informed by several key factors. First, the Flyers have shown competent offensive performance, averaging 3.2 goals in their last five away games. This is higher than the 2.8 goals the Dallas Stars have averaged at home in the same period.

The bet on the Philadelphia Flyers is based on their superior offensive performance and the model's prediction. In their last 5 away games, the Flyers have averaged 3.2 goals, higher than the Dallas Stars' home average of 2.8. This indicates that the Flyers' offense has been more productive, even in hostile environments. Furthermore, the Flyers have managed more shots on goal, averaging 28.8 in away games compared to the Stars' 26.2, suggesting that they create more scoring opportunities.
