- Jets -1.5 (+125) (4 units)
The Jets look like one of the league’s best teams, and they look to dominate this game on their home ice. The Jets, who average 4.25 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will against the Predators, who allow 3.00 goals per game, with Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes.

The Jets should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.
Over/Under Pick For Predators vs Jets
- Under 5.5 (5 Units)
The Jets have looked great on defense, and this game looks to be a low-scoring one from the first period. The Predators should limit the Jets' offense with Roman Josi and Brady Skjei stepping up at the blue line and creating turnovers while goaltender Juuse Saros blanks the shots on the net. The Jets, who have allowed only six goals in their last three games, should eliminate and potentially shut out the Predators, who average only 2.80 goals per game, with Josh Morrissey, Dylan DeMelo, Neal Pionk, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Connor Hellebuyck blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 5.5 goals.
