Jets vs Stars Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Stars to take down the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently at -123, I’m placing my bet on the Stars straight-up.

When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Stars to win and cover. Watch for the Stars to win this game 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.
