Avalanche vs. Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets here. Until I have a reason to go against the Jets, I’m not going to. Winnipeg keeps finding a way, and while the Avalanche have historically had Winnipeg’s number, the Avalanche just have issues with keeping the puck out of the net that I’m not going to assume are resolved after one game. The Jets are the better team in my eyes and I will roll with them here at a reasonable price.
