Money Line: -102.00 Winnipeg (Home)
Result: Loss
#16 ASA PLAY ON 8* Winnipeg Jets (+100) over Vegas Golden Knights, Thursday at 8 PM ET - Why is this line a pick'em? Exactly! The 4-0 Golden Knights are facing a 1-2 Jets team and the casual observer might view this as a gift line for Vegas. Of course we all know the sports books are not in the habit of giveaways! In other words, this is no gift and actually functions as a trap line.  People will be enticed to back the undefeated Knights here but they are fortunate to be 4-0 as they just barely snuck by Dallas in a game that looked like it belonged to the Stars! Vegas scored very late to tie the game and than managed to eke out the win in the shootout. Even in the shootout their goalie did not make a single stop but had puck line as 2 of the 3 shots struck iron while the other one went right between his legs with ease. The point is that the Golden Knights undefeated season should have already come to an end but did not and we now take advantage of the hidden value here.  The Jets are not off to a great start this season but it is early and this is a solid team and they also have playoff revenge just like the Stars did Tuesday.  Unlike Dallas, the Jets will get the job done in regulation here and get their revenge. They waited many months for this shot and they get this opportunity at home. Home team's money line is our play here.
