Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota is the favorite, which comes as no surprise. Buffalo has been very disappointing on the road—one win in their last ten games. Given their position in the standings, such an opponent is a gift for the Wild. The Wild has dropped to seventh place, although they were in the top three in the West a few months ago.
