Jets vs Avalanche Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Avalanche to secure a victory over the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently set at -129, I’m locking in my bet on the Avalanche straight-up.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Avalanche to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Avalanche to win this one by multiple goals over the Jets.

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.
