Wild vs Jets Prediction
I’m on the Jets here. I just don’t trust the Wild in their current form, as the offense isn’t where it needs to be and the defense has really been stinking up the joint as of late. Winnipeg’s been consistent as we’re used to seeing from them over the last couple of years, and I think we’re getting a fantastic price with them here. Give me Winnipeg here.
