Kings vs Sabres Betting Prediction
This matchup is quite interesting, as it is between two good offensive teams with poor defenses, so the outcome could depend on who scores more. Los Angeles have scored a good number of goals but have mostly struggled against Buffalo, which could be their undoing.
Buffalo, even in the losses, have defended decently. They have also played well against a losing team, which augurs well for their victory hopes. Buffalo's defense and a strong offensive setup should mean they cover the spread.
