New York Rangers vs Edmonton Oilers prediction: the market flipped to New York

Twenty-four hours ago the Oilers were the favourite, best price 1.75, and the Rangers were out at 2.17. Now the best Edmonton price is 2.10 and the best New York price is 1.80, a full flip across the board. This is not one book out of step: the median has gone with it, sitting at 1.78 on the Rangers and 2.07 on the Oilers, so the best prices are almost on the consensus. The move also runs against the recent scores, which makes it more interesting, not less. Edmonton come in off two straight 4-0 wins, and the Rangers have lost four of their last five. When the whole board moves against form, I follow the market rather than the form.

Verdict: Rangers moneyline at 1.80.
