The current betting odds have the Predators listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Predators have looked good in their games this season with their 45-29-4 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the West and in a Wild Card spot right now. They haven't been at their best on home ice this year but they have still been a decent home team with their 22-16-1 home record. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked really good in their games this season with their 47-24-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team with their 22-13-3 road record this year, but they have also clinched a playoff spot already. The Predators haven't clinched a playoff spot yet and they will be looking to win this game since they are fighting for a Wild Card spot. The Jets do have some momentum coming into this one with 3 wins in a row, but they haven't looked good lately with their 4-5-1 record in their last 10 games. The Predators are coming off a win in their last one and they have been the hotter team lately with their 6-4-0 record in their last 10 games. The Predators need this game a lot more than the Jets do and they have the home advantage to help them get a much needed win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Predators to win this game.
