Stars vs Jets Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Jets to come out with a win against the Stars while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +105, I’m placing my bet on the Jets to win outright.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Jets winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Jets straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
