Philadelphia are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games.

Philadelphia are 3-17 SU in their last 20 games on the road.

Montreal are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games at home.

Montreal are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing at home against Philadelphia.

Prediction

These are two of the worst teams in the league and both are already eliminated. They have poor offenses and bad defenses so anything can happen here a high score for bad defense or a low score for poor offense, and they way I see it they struggle more to score so I'm going to play the under. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Montreal's last 6 games.

PICK: Under 6 (-110)
