Jets vs Stars Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Stars to come out with a win against the Jets while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -149, I’m placing my bet on the Stars to win outright.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Stars to win and cover. Look for the Stars to win this one by multiple goals over the Jets.

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.
