Sabres vs. Rangers Prediction and Odds: New York Set as Sizable Favorites

Sabres vs. Rangers Prediction and Pick

The oddsmakers seem to think that the Sabres hot start to their season was a fraudulent one, as they have the Rangers set as massive favorites in this game despite Buffalo still having a respectable 7-7-2 record on the year.

While there's no doubt that New York is the more talented team, I don't think the odds are justified. The Rangers are dead last in even strength CORSI% and 25th in high danger scoring chances. No team with those numbers are deserving of being a -240 (bet $240 to profit $100) favorite.

I'm going to take the Sabres at +215 on the moneyline, but if you're not feeling quite as brave as I am, the +1.5 puck line at -120 is also a fantastic bet.

Pick: Sabres +215
