Hurricanes vs Jets Prediction

I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if you’re looking at the Jets and the plus money. They’re arguably the best team in hockey right now, and you’re not going to get them as underdogs often the rest of the way. However, you also don’t see the Hurricanes at home and the cheap price much either. The Canes have also snapped back from a recent funk lately, winning three straight games and leaning into defense. The Hurricanes are 24-7-1 on their home ice this season. This should be a fun one, but I’m not getting enough bang for my buck with the Jets. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Hurricanes at home.
