Red Wings vs Jets Prediction

The Jets looked better in their season debut, and it makes them worth a look here. The Red Wings have also been riding the struggle bus dating back to last season. Not scoring in their debut doesn’t increase confidence. However, the Red Wings are due for a win, and early start times usually favor the home team. It’s a lot easier to hit the ice when you’re waking up in your own bed. Pick em price and two teams that need a bounce-back win. I’ll give the Red Wings the edge at home.
