Jets vs Panthers Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Panthers to defeat the Jets while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -142, I’m placing a wager on the Panthers to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Panthers to secure the win and cover. Expect the Panthers to dominate this one with a multi-goal win 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.
