Full-Game Side Bet
Rating:
While the Seattle Kraken are playing a back to back match, I do believe they will keep this one close. The Kraken are 17-7 against the puck line as underdogs on the road this season. The Jets on the other hand are only 6-5 against the puck line as a home favorite with their line at -150 or greater. Last season Seattle managed to cover this puck line in all three of their meetings and I expect them to do it again this season.
I am siding with the Kraken on the puck line at +1.5.
Prediction: Seattle Kraken +1.5 ( -164 )
Full-Game Total Pick
Rating:
The Seattle Kraken have an over/under record of 1-4 in their last five games on the road. In the Jets last five games at home, they have an over/under record of 2-2-1. Both teams have been winning their games with their defense and because of that I am looking toward the under. When the Jets are a -150 or greater favorite at home this season, they have an over/under record of 1-8-3.
I am going to side with the under at 5.5.
Prediction: Under 5.5 ( -104 )
