Capitals vs Jets Prediction

It looks like the Capitals have gotten back on track, and they’re going to be favored at home when in good form. However, the Jets are no pushover and not a team you usually get in the underdog role over the last year or so. The Jets have hit a few hiccups, but they’re still an above average team that’s won 6 games on the road. The Jets have also won 3 of the last 4 games against the Capitals. At this price, I’ll gladly take a shot in the dark with the Jets.
