Hockey Club vs Jets Prediction

When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Jets. Nevertheless, given the payout of -218, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
