Senators vs Jets Prediction

No matter what you think of the Senators, backing the Jets just isn’t an option. We’re talking about a team that hasn’t won a game since December 13. The Jets have zero betting value, and they’re easily the worst profitable team in the NHL this season. It’s to the point where you should be blindly fading the Jets until this run ends. Or maybe it doesn’t, and we inch closer toward buying a private island. That would be nice. Yeah, give me the Senators.
