Jets vs Kings Prediction

When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Kings. Nevertheless, given the payout of -190, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Jets to cover. Even if the Kings win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Jets should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
