The Jets are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Caps, but the Caps are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Washington. Under is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.

In this Jets vs Capitals Prediction, the Capitals are coming as -156 home favorites. Both teams have been very good this season and have exactly 12 overall wins each, while having similar home/away splits. The Caps have been in better form lately, as they are 4-1 in their last 5 games, while on the other hand, the Jets are coming off back-to-back losses. The Caps are better both offensively and defensively and the Jets will be without their starting goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who is out with an injury. I expect the hosts to get the job done today, so take the Capitals on the moneyline in this one.
