Chicago Blackhawks vs. Winnipeg Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. It’s tempting to take the Blackhawks and plus money here as the Jets haven’t really been anything special or anything to write home about. However, Winnipeg is still the better team that has expectations to fulfill, and if they don’t hit those, there’s going to be a lot of frustration and anger that’s goign to start bubbling from the fan base and if it’s not now for Winnipeg then it’s going to be a case of when. I’ll side with the Jets in this one.
