Jets vs Kraken Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Kraken to pick up on a win over the Jets at home. With the moneyline sitting at +148, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Kraken straight-up.

Our projections have the Kraken pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Kraken, 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 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
