Jets vs Bruins Prediction
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Bruins to defeat the Jets while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +115, I’m placing a wager on the Bruins to win outright.
Our projections have the Bruins pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Bruins, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.
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.
