8:05 PM EST. OT included. Let’s just toss everything we know about these two squads for a second and focus in on the betting line. To set it up, we’ll preface it with the fact that the Jets are 21-6-2 at home, they’ve won two in a row and are generally considered to be one of the elite teams in the NHL. They are Don Cherry’s pick to win the Stanley Cup this year. Meanwhile, the Avalanche have dropped eight in row and have lost 18 of their past 21 games.

At the time of this writing (not posting) of 10:00 AM EST, Winnipeg was -154 at Pinnacle Sports.

That is a lower price on a home favorite than:

Nashville -160 over Montreal

Tampa Bay -180 over Dallas

San Jose -173 over Washington

Chicago -163 over New Jersey

Does that make any sense to you? In other words, Pinnacle is giving Colorado a better chance to beat Winnipeg than they’re giving Montreal to beat Nashville or any of the others. A team that has lost 18 of 21 games and that can’t get out of its own way is taking back a smaller price than the Canadiens, who are playing well and with Carey Price in net. There are times when a sportsbook takes a “position”. There is no argument that Pinnacle Sports is the gold standard when it comes to sharp sportsbooks and they are lower than everyone else on this game (at the time of this writing). Thus, they are inviting you to bet Winnipeg with them. We obviously have no idea what is going to happen in this game but it might be worth noting that the Jets will play their fifth game in eight days while the Avalanche continually are winning the puck possession battle in almost every game they play the past six weeks or so. The real reason for this choice however, is that it appears to us that the sportsbooks are taking the position that the Jets are ripe to get beat and could or should be flat here.

Open an account today at and take advantage of their -104 style pricing on sides and totals, which is 60% better than other sportsbooks.
