Canucks vs Jets Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Jets to secure a victory over the Canucks at home. With the moneyline currently set at -161, I’m locking in my bet on the Jets straight-up.

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 Canucks.

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.
