Oilers vs Jets Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Jets to pick up on a win over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline sitting at -103, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Jets straight-up.

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

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
