Flyers vs Jets Prediction
I’m on the Flyers here. I am sure the Jets will snap out of their funk at some point. It’s sometimes hard to beat the same team in quick succession on a quick turnaround like the Flyers hope to here after beating the Jets just five days ago. That being said, the Flyers seem to have Winnipeg’s number, and the Jets are just having issues finding the back of the net right now. I think it’s worth taking a shot here with the Flyers and the plus money at home in this spot.
