The good news for the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL picks is that they've won their last two games against the Philadelphia Flyers. The worrisome part of that equation is that both of those games were played in the Motor City at Little Caesars Arena.

Thursday's clash between these two clubs is in the City of Brotherly Love at the Wells Fargo Center. That place has proven to be a house of horrors for the Red Wings. They are 1-7 straight up in the last eight visits there and 2-19 SU over their past 21 games in Philly.

Oddsmakers are anticpating that the Red Wings will keep falling. Philadelphia is set as -141 home favorites in the NHL picks for this game.

Let's look at the latest betting line on this game. Odds are subject to change.
