Avalanche vs Jets Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Jets to secure a victory over the Avalanche at home. With the moneyline currently set at -142, I’m locking in my bet on the Jets straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Avalanche to cover. Even in the event of a Jets victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Avalanche should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
