Blues vs Jets Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Jets coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -177, I’d recommend looking to the puck line as our projections have the Jets winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Jets to win and cover. Look for 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.
