Oilers vs Jets Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Jets to defeat the Oilers while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -117, I’m placing a wager on the Jets to win outright.

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 Oilers.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
