For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Jets to pick up on a win over the Golden Knights at home. With the moneyline sitting at -127, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Jets straight-up.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Jets to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Jets to win this one by multiple goals over the Golden Knights.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
