Flyers vs Jets Prediction

If you’re searching for a moneyline bet in this matchup, our analysis favors the Jets as the likely winner. Nevertheless, considering the current odds at -211, I’d suggest exploring the puc line bet, as our projections indicate the Jets winning by more than a single goal.

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 Flyers.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
