Jets vs Mammoth Prediction
These are two of the hotter teams in the league so you can make a case for either side. The Jets will get the edge at home, but I have a hard time leaving plus money on the table with a team that hasn’t lost a game in two weeks. The Mammoth are rolling with a top-10 offense in terms of goals per game and a defense that’s first in shots against. Who knows how long this will last, but the Mammoth are one of the top earners in the league right now, so I’ll gladly take a shot at the more favorable price.
