Avalanche vs Jets Prediction
You can make a case that the Winnipeg Jets have been the better team this season, and there’s value in the underdog role. The problem is the Jets are coming off bad losses to the Flames and Utah, and you usually don’t figure things out on the road. The Colorado Avalanche have been hit or miss lately, but they’re still explosive offensively and are tough to stop once they get rolling. The home team has won seven of the last 10 games between the Jets and Avalanche. We’re not getting enough bang for the buck to pull the trigger with the Jets. Give me the Avalanche at home and a more than reasonable price.
