Best Bets
- Buffalo Sabres +110
There’s not much separating the Panthers and Sabres, but the betting market seems to think the former is the far superior team. Florida does have better peripherals, but Buffalo has been much better on offense, and slightly better on defense over a relatively large sample size.
