Randy’s Pick
The Jets are having a fantastic week, and you should consider the plus money. However, the Panthers have been more consistent, they’re sharper defensively, and they’ve been money on their home ice over the last 3 years. The Panthers are one of the best home teams in the league over the last couple of seasons. I’m not stepping in front of this group at home. Give me the Panthers at home and cheap price.
