Penguins vs. Devils Prediction

Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Penguins vs. Devils prediction for Saturdayโ€™s game is the Devils Moneyline (-145).ย 

Pittsburgh captured an unlikely win as home underdogs against the Blues. Accordingly, it puts the Penguins in a prime sell-high spot against the Devils.ย 

Since 2005, conference road favorites are 227-117 SU (66%), assuming three factors:

  • The underdogโ€™s previous game margin is +2 or +3
  • The underdogโ€™s winning percentage falls between 31% and 50%
  • The underdog closed an underdog in their previous game

This system improves drastically when you consider a smaller sample featuring worse underdogs.ย 

Take the high end winning percentage down from 50% to 42% โ€“ the Penguins sit on 39% โ€“ and the favorites improve to 141-63 (69.1%).ย 

In that sample, favorites off a win by 1-4 goals further improve to 66-28 SU (70.2%).ย 

As a result, NHL bettors should consider a bet on the Devils for Saturdayโ€™s early puck drop.ย
