Jets at Stars picks and predictions
Prediction
Winnipeg 3, Dallas 2
Moneyline
The JETS (+120) are worth a look at plus-money on the road against the Stars (-140) in this key Western Conference game.
The Stars hold a 6-4 edge in the past 10 meetings, but Dallas lost its most recent game at home on April 11 in the final battle last season. Winnipeg has won 2 of the past 3 trips to the Metroplex, too.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Jets +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.
If you like Winnipeg, just play it straight up on the moneyline.
AVOID.
Over/Under
The UNDER 6 (-110) is worth playing lightly, as we have 2 strong goaltenders going up against each other.
The Under has cashed in 5 straight meetings in this series, too, while 7-2-1 in the previous 10 in the series since Feb. 23, 2022.
