Anaheim Ducks vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction

The Anaheim Ducks have quietly won 5 of their last 7 games, so there’s value in looking at the massive underdog price. The Ducks also beat the Jets last month as a +130 underdog. There’s something here. However, the Jets have been a buzzsaw for much of the season, and they’re at their best at home, where they’re 14-3-1 on the season. Also, despite the loss last month, the Jets have still won 8 of the last 9 games against the Ducks. I’m just not eager to step in front of the Jets, especially on their home ice. I need to see more from the Ducks if we’re being honest. Give me the Jets and of course, I lay the PL to shave down the juice.
