Islanders vs Jets Prediction
The Jets have shown us more through a couple of games, while the Islanders have been racking up the losses dating back to the end of last season. However, the Islanders are better than what they’ve shown up to this point, and I’d expect them to start showing it, especially at home.
Early start time, which usually favors home teams. The Islanders have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Jets, and a lot of those contests weren’t competitive. At some point, the Islanders will tap into their defensive roots and turn this ship around. It could start here with an early game on Monday. Give me the Islanders and the cheap price.
