Washington at Philadelphia

Philadelphia has talent on offense and is starting to focus more on defense off a 2-1 win over Ottawa. The Flyers began a four-game homestand with that win. The UNDER is 5-1 in the Flyers' last six home games. Washington is in town playing 8 of the last 11 on the road. This is an improved Washington defense from a year ago at #11 in goals allowed. Washington had to play last night and the Capitals are 1-5 when playing on no rest. The UNDER is also 12-3-1 in the Capitals' last 16 vs. a team with a losing record. Washington has dropped eight of 11 against Philadelphia, including the last three with 16 goals allowed. The home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings, so grab the home team and look for more defense than the oddsmakers anticipate. Take Philadelphia and play the UNDER.
