Blues vs Jets Prediction

If you’re considering a direct moneyline bet, the Jets is the choice to make. However, with a payout of -200, you might want to use this bet as a building block for 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.
