Jets vs Blues Prediction
When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to come out with a win against the Jets while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at +127, I’m placing my bet on the Blues to win outright.
If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blues winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blues 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.
