Kraken vs Jets Prediction
When it comes to a moneyline bet in this game, our analysis leans towards the Jets picking up the win. However, given the current odds of -181, I’d advise going with the puck line, as our predictions have the Jets coming out on top by more than one goal.
When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Jets to secure the win and cover. Expect the Jets to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Kraken.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
