Jets vs Predators prediction
The Jets have been the slightly more consistent team and have 22 road wins, so you can consider them in this spot. However, the Predators have won the last 2 games against the Jets, which includes a 4-2 win less than a month ago. The Preds have also played the slightly better hockey over these last couple of weeks, which includes a win over the Panthers on the road. This is a battle between two playoff teams. I’d need plus money to side with the road team. Near pick em prices, give me the Predators on their home ice.
