Edmonton Oilers Struggle Against Florida Panthers: Can They Turn the Tide in Stanley Cup Finals?

So, not only is there a “fade the public” angle for Game 2, but there’s also some “gambler’s fallacy” in these betting splits, too. This is when bettors think something is “due,” a word that doesn’t belong in sports betting. 

Remember how streaky the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals were? Florida won the first three games of the series, then Edmonton rallied back to force a Game 7, which the Panthers won. Weren’t both teams “due” during their three-game losing skids? 

That said, I’ll take the cheap price on the Oilers. Their average moneyline this postseason has been -140, and they have a +2.1 scoring margin in those games. Draisaitl and Oilers’ three-time Hart Trophy winner Connor McDavid are the two best skaters in this series and are out for vengeance after losing last year’s Stanley Cup Finals to this team.
