Jets vs Senators Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Senators to take down the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently at +115, I’m placing my bet on the Senators straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Senators winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Senators straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
