Blackhawks vs Jets Prediction
This line is a bit insane when you consider the struggles of the Winnipeg Jets this week. However, it is an indication of just how bad things are in Chicago right now. The Blackhawks can’t get stops and their offense is usually a dud. The Jets are better than this recent run indicates, and this is a spot where they should bounce back at home. Give me the Jets and the PL to shave down the price.
