Coyotes vs Jets Prediction

To those searching for a pure moneyline wager, the Jets is the clear pick. Still, with a payout of -243, it’s worth thinking about including this bet in a parlay.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Coyotes to cover. Even if the Jets manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Coyotes should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
