This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Winnipeg Jets.

Some times I believe it's important to completely dissect a game, looking at situational, motivational and trend based factors very carefully, and in others I feel a "common sense" approach is the best way to handicap a contest. And that's the case here as I expect the home side to come in focused on the task at hand and to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Winnipeg already beat the Sabres earlier in the year in Buffalo, but the Sabres played the Senators just last night at home and will definitely come into this contest with "heavy legs." This does not set up as a look ahead spot at all for the Jets either, they've lost two straight and don't play again until Friday; this is a game that Winnipeg NEEDS to win. Note that Bufflao is a poor 4-8 in non-conference games this season, while Winnipeg is 6-4 (+2.8 units) after scoring 1 goal or less in its previous contest and 6-3 (+2.6 units) in its last nine after allowing four goals or more in its previous contest. Lay the price with confidence on the JETS as a lop-sided wire-to-wire destruction is expected.
