Flames vs Jets Prediction

If you’re searching for a moneyline bet in this matchup, our analysis favors the Jets as the likely winner. Nevertheless, considering the current odds at -238, I’d suggest exploring the puc line bet, as our projections indicate the Jets winning by more than a single goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Jets to win and cover. Look for the Jets to win this one by multiple goals over the Flames.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
