In our opinion the betting market continues to overreact to the loss of Sidney Crosby. Yes, he's great. But this team is not THIS bad without him. Evgeni Malkin is very good and will help make up for lost scoring. They are still 14-9 on the road this season while the Flyers are sub-.500 at home. Philadelphia's defense is too suspect to be this big a favorite, especially when Pittsburgh has revenge on their mind. The Flyers are just 14-20 as a home favorite the past two seasons and 3-12 at home in Feburary overall.
