Jets vs Maple Leafs Odds & Picks: Total Goes OVER 6 Goals

Two clicking offenses meet at Scotiabank Arena this afternoon with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets scoring an average of 4.2 goals per game in recent samples. That's why I'm taking OVER 6 goals from BET99 at a mouth-watering +100 odds.

Take a second to look at Odds Shark's BET99 same-game parlay for this tilt. We combined three legs including the Leafs on the moneyline for +600 odds.

Jets vs Maple Leafs Picks

OVER 6 Goals (+100) at BET99

Both teams' offenses are in great form heading into this contest. The Winnipeg Jets have scored freely, 4.2 goals per game, in their last six outings. The Jets' stunning offense was on full display in their last game against Central Division rivals Minnesota, when they scored five goals on 24 shots for a massive 5-0 win. Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor lead the way with four goals in those six games. They hold +215 and +145 anytime goal odds at BET99.

Not to be outdone, Toronto has seen a flurry of goals, averaging 4.2 in their last five games, with all that scoring by Toronto, the total has gone OVER four times in its last five, with an average of eight goals. William Nylander has been the chief catalyst for that offense, scoring five goals in those five games. His BET99 anytime goal odds are +120.

In the last seven meetings between the Jets and Leafs in Toronto, the total has gone OVER five times, with an average of 6.3 goals. Combining these two powerful offensive units today, I'm confident the total will go OVER, even with Auston Matthews sidelined again.

Jets vs Maple Leafs Same Game Parlay

Maple Leafs ML: Toronto has been great at home lately going 7-3SU in their last 10 and have had the Jets number winning three in a row against Winnipeg at Scotiabank Arena. The Jets have been "good" on the road recently going 3-2SU, but those aren't convincing wins having come against the Sharks, Hawks, and Sabres, three teams pegged to the bottom of the NHL standings. 

UNDER 6 Goals: Yes, I know I said the total would go OVER 6 goals but the Odds Shark staff outvoted me and said the total would go UNDER. Looking at my expert picks record this year, I can't say I blame them for fading me.

Tavares O3.5 SOG: Tavares's line might seem a tad high, but we must remember that Auston Matthews won't play today, which means the Leafs will lean on Tavares even more as their only true top-six center. The Jets also allow the 10th-most shots in the league from centers at 10.3 per game.

Jets vs Maple Leafs Player Prop

John Tavares Anytime Goal (+170) at BET99

Per Outlier, Tavares has only scored in one of his last eight games, that was a hat trick against the pathetic Buffalo Sabres. Well, today, I'm wagering he gets back to scoring ways.

Tavares has two hat-tricks this year, one against the Sabres and another against the Jets earlier in the year when Johnny-T helped end the Jets' season-opening winning streak. In Tavares's last five games against the Jets, he has six goals making him a good candidate to score again tonight.
