The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked really good in their games this season with their 41-18-5 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot right now. They have also looked great on home ice this year with their 22-8-2 home record and just pulled off a shutout in their last game there. Meanwhile, the Predators have also looked good in their games this season with their 37-25-4 record overall, but that record only has them in 4th place of their division in the West and in a Wild Card spot right now. They have looked better in their road games this season with their 19-10-3 road record too. The Predators have also been really hot lately with their 8-0-2 record in their last 10 games, but they did lose some of their momentum with a loss in their last game which went to OT. The Jets haven't been as hot lately but they have still looked really good in their games with their 7-3-0 record in their last 10 and they will have some momentum from a win in their last game which they had a shutout in too. The Jets have also been a lot better on defense this season and they are the kind of team that can give the hot Predators trouble with their defensive play. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.
