When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Jets to defeat the Golden Knights while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -133, 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 Golden Knights.

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.
