Toronto Maple Leafs vs Winnipeg Jets prediction

I considered the Toronto Maple Leafs in this spot, but the bottom line is I need more bang for my buck to take them serious. The Maple Leafs are a good enough team to back in the underdog role, and they’ve won 4 straight games against the Jets, which includes a shutout win a couple of days ago. Still, there’s no money to be made here. The Winnipeg Jets have been one of the best home teams in the league this season, and you’re not holding down that offense for long. Near pick em prices here. Give me the Jets to get their revenge.
