Stars vs. Jets Game 2 Betting Prediction
I backed Dallas in Game 1 and there’s no reason to fade the Stars in Game 2. The Jets are done. They should have lost to the Blues in Round 1 and even though they survived thanks to a miracle in Game 7, the Jets are banged up and once again do not have the best goaltender in the series. Give me the Stars.
Stars vs. Jets Game 2 Prediction: DALLAS STARS +105
