Stars vs Jets Prediction
If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Jets to take down the Stars at home. With the moneyline currently at -122, I’m placing my bet on the Jets straight-up.
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 Stars.
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.
