Jets vs Devils Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Jets won 4-3 at home and are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings against the Devils.
In this Jets vs Devils Prediction, the Devils are coming as -121 home favorites. The Devils have been the better team this season and are up against the Jets squad that has been far weaker on the road and on another slump lately, with a 1-4 record in their last 5 games. On the flip side, the Devils are 5-2 in their last 7 games and I like them as home favorites in this spot, but this is more like fading the Jets on the road. Take the Devils to take care of business at home in this one.
