In this Devils vs Jets Prediction, the Jets are coming as -125 home favorites. The Devils have been the better team this season as the Jets have been struggling for the most part of the past month, but the Devils are just 2-7 in their last 9 games, while the Jets are coming off a dominating home win against the Kings that snapped their lengthy losing streak. The Devils’ offense has been non-existent lately, as they have scored just two goals in their last three games combined while they are playing their third straight game on the road. I will take my chances with the Jets at home in this one.
