Winnipeg is the better team at home in this spot and after game 1, look for them to tighten up on defense and goaltending. They should have a better defensive game and keep the Avalanche at bay in this one as Colorado is better at home than on the road. Winnipeg is 28-11-3 straight up at home this season. The Avalanche are 5-8-1 straight up as a road underdog and 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Winnipeg. The Jets will go up 2-0 in the series.

Best bet: take Winnipeg on the moneyline (ML).
