Blues vs Jets Prediction

If you’re looking for a straight moneyline bet, then the Jets are the way to go. However, with a payout of -209, you might consider using this bet as a leg of a parlay.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Blues to cover. Even if the Jets win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Blues should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
