Blues vs Jets Prediction

For a moneyline bet, we have the Jets as the likely winner. However, with the current odds at -190, I’d suggest considering a puck line bet, as our predictions have the Jets winning by more than one 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 Blues.

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.
