Jets vs Stars Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Stars to pick up on a win over the Jets at home. With the moneyline sitting at -145, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Stars straight-up.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Jets to cover. Even if the Stars manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Jets should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
