This is an 8* play on the Jets

Two of the top three teams from the NHL's Central Division face off here with second place Winnipeg (25-13-2) hosting Dallas (22-16-4). Though the Stars have closed the gap to just four points in the standings, I think the actual gap (in terms of talent) is far greater. There's "something about Sundays" for the Jets as they're 5-0 when playing on a Sunday this season. I did just play against them Friday, but that was on the road against an incredibly hot Penguins team. Sure enough, the Jets lost 4-0, but the fact they were NOT big underdogs on the money line for that game should tell you about the kind of respect they get from oddsmakers. Conversely, tonight's line looks a little low. It's a big game for Winnipeg as they have lost three of four. Dallas is off a big 2-1 win over Washington, but that came at home. On the road, the Stars are just 8-11-2. (Winnipeg is 13-6-2 at home). Dallas REALLY struggles to score on the road (2.2 goals per game), an average that ranks third from the bottom in the entire league. Winnipeg is top five in the league in scoring at home. The Jets are also 9-5 SU after allowing 4+ goals and 6-2 SU after being held to 1 or 0 the last game. Play on WINNIPEG
