Stars vs Jets Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Jets to pick up on a win over the Stars at home. With the moneyline sitting at -130, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Jets straight-up.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Jets to win and cover. Look for the Jets to win this one by multiple goals over the Stars.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
