Jets vs Blues Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to take down the Jets at home. With the moneyline currently at +114, I’m placing my bet on the Blues straight-up.

Our projections have the Blues pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Blues, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
