Game Prediction

Rather than back Colorado Avalanche on the moneyline, our pick is to back them off a -1.5 goal handicap. We’re taking the +104 on the puck line to get bigger odds.

The formbook is always a smart starting point when making hockey picks. Up-to-date NHL team news is just as important, while the stats we provide often reveal valuable insights.

Key Jets vs Avalanche stats:

  • The -1.5 line has been covered by Avalanche in 9 consecutive games at home.
  • The -1.5 line has been covered by Avalanche in 13 of their last 20 games at home.

Avs -1.5 Probability

Based on the odds from the best betting apps, our pick has a 49% chance of winning. However, we have this number between 55-60% based on our in-depth research. That means we’re regarding it as a value bet.

Looking for Bigger Odds?

There’s regularly the option to sell goals and that allows you to leverage a bigger potential return. Conversely, buying goals will give you a less-risky Puck Line wager but smaller odds.
