The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a pick 'em in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked really good in their games this season with their 44-22-5 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West right now and in a playoff spot. They have also looked great on home ice this year with their 23-9-2 home record. Meanwhile, the Oilers have also looked really good in their games this season with their 42-23-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West right now and in a playoff spot. Even though they are 2nd place in their division in the West, they still have less points and a worse record than the Jets this season. The Oilers have also struggled a lot more in their road games this year with their 19-15-1 road record. Neither one of these teams has been hot coming into this one either, the Oilers going 5-3-2 in their last 10 games while the Jets are 5-5-0 in their last 10 games, both teams coming off a loss in their last one too. The Jets have the advantage being at home though since they have been so good on their home ice this year and they are going to be motivated to bounce back after getting shut out in their last one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.
