EDMONTON OILERS BETTING ANALYSIS

Straight Up - SU, Against the Spread - ATS, Over-Under (O/U)

  • SU: 42-26-6
  • ATS: 34-40
  • O/U: 38-33-3

The Oilers had been on fire until recently, dropping the past two in a row. That comes on the heels of a six-game win streak. However, the Oilers haven't fared very well as an underdog, going 5-16 in the past 21 when not favored, including 0-6 in the past six as a road 'dog.

Edmonton is 6-1 in the past seven when playing on a day of rest, while going 6-2 in the past eight against Western Conference teams. The Oilers are just 2-6 in the past eight tries against the Predators, too.

For totals, the UNDER is 4-0 in the past four outings, while going 6-2-1 in the past nine as an underdog, while going 4-0 in the past four tries against the Western Conference.

NASHVILLE PREDATORS BETTING ANALYSIS

Straight Up - SU, Against the Spread - ATS, Over-Under (O/U)

  • SU: 42-26-5
  • ATS: 40-33
  • O/U: 42-31

The Predators have been dominant at home, going 36-16 in the past 52 in the Music City, while going 39-13 in the past 52 as a home favorite, too. The Preds are 38-17 in the past 55 as a favorite, too.

However, the Preds are just 1-4 in the past five tries against teams with a winning record, too, although they're 7-3 in the past 10 against Western Conference teams.

On totals, the UNDER is 4-0 in the past four games overall, while going 9-4 in the past 13 games at home. The UNDER is 7-3 in the past 10 as a home favorite, too.

EDMONTON OILERS vs. NASHVILLE PREDATORS BETTING CONCLUSION

These teams haven't met since Nov. 27, with the Oilers winning 3-2 at home in a shootout as the UNDER cashed. Mikko Koskinen outdueled Juuse Saros in that battle. Prior to that, the Oilers won 5-2 on Nov. 3, again in Edmonton, and again behind Koskinen, although Connor Ingram was in between the pipes for Nashville in that one.

Edmonton has actually won five in a row in this series, although the Oilers are just 2-7 in the past nine trips to the Music City, and this is the first trip for the Oilers to Nashville this season. Look for Nashville to enjoy a little home cooking, pushing past the Oilers for an important two points, as the Predators jockey for playoff seeding with the Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings and these Oilers.
