Jets vs Golden Knights Prediction
If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Golden Knights to take down the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently at -108, I’m placing my bet on the Golden Knights straight-up.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Jets to cover. Even if the Golden Knights win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Jets should cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
