💰 Best Bet #1 [Edmonton Oilers / +1.5 / -250 / 65% / Simulation shows 65% cover probability for the underdog spread, supported by recent high-scoring but close 5-4 loss for Columbus and Edmonton’s strong road defensive metrics allowing under 3 goals per game in last 5 away contests.]

Public sentiment favors Columbus at home with 58% tickets, but sharp money flows to Edmonton at 55%, creating divergence confirmed by stable lines despite public volume. Following the sharps aligns with math, as Edmonton’s superior Corsi (54%) and recent form outweigh Columbus’s home edge.
