Capitals vs Jets Prediction

You can make a strong case for the Winnipeg Jets, arguably the best team in the league that also has no issue winning on the road. The problem is, the Capitals are 16-4-4 on their home ice this season. I’d need more plus money to side with the Jets in this spot. Also, the Capitals have won seven of the last nine games against the Jets, and a lot of those wins weren’t close. This is a must-watch game, between two of the better teams in the league. I have to give the edge to the Capitals at home, with the price being a near pick ’em spot.
