Bruins vs Jets Prediction
For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Bruins to pick up on a win over the Jets and the road. With the moneyline sitting at +119, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Bruins straight-up.
Our projections have the Bruins pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Bruins, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
