Jets vs Avalanche Prediction

The Avalanche look sexy statistically through two games, but they did what they were supposed to do in two home games as -200 favorites. This is a bigger test on the road. The Jets have won 5 of the last 8 games against the Avalanche, and they’re off to a fine start this season with road wins over the Red Wings and Penguins. Obviously, the Avs should be favored, but the value is with the Jets and the plus money at home given their current form, home ice, and their success recently against the Avalanche.
