Will Red Wings Make Playoffs? Don’t Bet On It

The Detroit Red Wings were missing the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs via tiebreaker. After all was said and done, they were coming up one point shy of being postseason partiticpants.

Accordingly, there’s certainly a buzz among the team’s fanbase entering the 2024-25 season. All in all, they believe this will be the season the club finally brings a halt to their eight-season absence from the NHL postseason.

Mind you, that’s not how oddsmakers are seeing things turning out for the club. Betting lines are out for the 2024-25 NHL season. Those lines aren’t lining up with a Red Wings playoff appearance.

At FanDuel.com Sportsbook, they are setting the Red Wings at odds of +124 to be making the playoffs. Detroit is given a betting line of -160 to miss the playoffs.

For those not fluent in gambling parlance, odds with a negative number indicate that outcome is more likely to happen. A betting line of -160 means you’d need to bet $160 to realize a $100 profit on your wager. Mweanwhile, with a +124 betting line, your profit on a $100 wager would be $124.
