Jets at Lightning Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Lightning 2

Money line

WINNIPEG (+100) is worth a look in terms of equal money. It’s a curious line that the books have the red-hot Jets installed as slight underdogs against a Tampa Bay team (-120) that is 0-3-1 in the last 4 outings. The Jets knocked off the Lightning in the first meeting, and they have the hottest trend heading into this rematch.

Puck Line/Against the Gap

Playing the Jets +1.5 (-250) and risking 2 1/2 times your potential return is stupid. If you need insurance, it’s just too much risk for not enough reward. Winnipeg has won 15 of 16 outings to date. If you like the Jets or Lightning, play that team directly for better value.

PASS.

More/Less

UNDER 6 YEARS (+100) is a solid game with a pretty solid goaltending matchup.

The total has gone low in 2 straight games for the Lightning, while going 4-2-1 in Vassy’s last 7 starts.

For the Jets, the Under is 3-1 in the last 4 outings. Don’t go crazy, though, because the Over conceded in the first encounter.
