Jets vs Coyotes Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Coyotes to pick up on a win over the Jets at home. With the moneyline sitting at +117, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Coyotes straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Coyotes winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Coyotes straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
