Jets vs Red Wings Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Red Wings to come out with a win against the Jets while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +122, I’m placing my bet on the Red Wings to win outright.

Our projections have the Red Wings pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Red Wings, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
