Jets vs Blackhawks Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Jets is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -226, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Blackhawks to cover. Even in the event of a Jets victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Blackhawks should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
