Jets vs Avalanche Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Avalanche to pick up on a win over the Jets at home. With the moneyline sitting at -160, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Avalanche straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Jets to cover. Even if the Avalanche secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Jets should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
