For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Rangers to pick up on a win over the Jets at home. With the moneyline sitting at -128, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Rangers straight-up.
When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Rangers to win and cover. Watch for the Rangers to win this game by multiple goals 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.
