Winnipeg Jets vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction
The Detroit Red Wings are coming off a couple of frustrating results where they've played well but haven't been able to finish. Regardless, the Winnipeg Jets are just too consistent to bet against, as they're 8-1 on the year and undefeated on the road. The Jets have also won 7 of the last 10 games against the Red Wings, and most of those games weren't close. I'd need more bang for my buck to pull the trigger with the Red Wings. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Jets to keep things rolling.
