Jets vs. Blues Prediction
I’m on the Jets here. I have to give Joel Hofer credit, as he’s stepped up for an expected backup so far this season, but the Jets have been consistent across the board this season as they keep finding ways to pile on and get the job done. The Blues have been somewhat streaky as of late and I think the Jets keep the unbeaten run going with another win here. Give me the Jets.
