Jets vs Senators Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Senators to defeat the Jets while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +118, I’m placing a wager on the Senators to win outright.

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

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
