Montreal at Winnipeg - pick the winner!

[TheDeuce]

In poker parlance we're so far back in the hand that we don't just need an ace on the river. It needs to be the ace of spades. Not gonna happen territory as far as making the playoffs is concerned.

But don't fret! There's still all the excitement of picking a team to bet on, with the promise of nothing but virtual dollars as a reward! Be part of the action! Be part of the fun! Be there when the Jets' ball is drawn and they're awarded the first overall selection in the 2013 draft!

Thus we're up a virtual $917.



(For those following at home I've been tracking how we vote on the results of Jets games and calculating the net result for a $100 virtual bet).

Moneyline: The line is surprising! It opened with the Jets as +100/-110 favorites but that's flipped and now we have a variety to choose from:

5Dimes BETONLINE SportsBetting.ag SportsInteraction Ladbrokes
Mtl -110 -105 -105 -110 -115
Wpg +100 -105 -105 -110 +100



Since we're a Jets fan forum we'll go with the 5Dimes line. Winning bet on Winnipeg gets $100 profit while a winning bet on Montreal gets $91 profit.

My gut says this game is a tossup - and the bookies seem to agree. Since I like the insurance angle and the Jets have never won the last game of a season since they've relocated from Atlanta I'm going to pick Montreal. No homerism finger wagging from me if you guys pick the Jets though.

(I'll save that homerism finger wagging for you guys who voted that we bet on the Jets in the Caps game. That was expensive loyalty!)

Yeah, I was pretty surprised the majority picked the Jets last game.


"and the Jets have never won the last game of a season since they've relocated from Atlanta"

Lol. The sample of one plays into your pick eh

;D

I used the same logic to bet against the Jets in the home opener against Ottawa. Sound logic then, sound logic now.

I thought it was pretty clear who was going to win the Washington game, I'm surprised the Jets made it as close as they did. That said, Montreal doesn't have a lot to gain by winning tonight, and yet we're still hurt. I call the Jets in a really close game, 2-1 or 3-2. I voted, but wouldn't put actual money down. But I don't think we make the playoffs.

My prediction: Washington beats Ottawa, Ottawa beats Philly to clinch. Rangers beat Canes tonight to clinch. I expect to be wrong

Montreal is tied with Boston for the NE division title with one more game played - and an extra ROW! They have more to play for than the Jets do tonight!

3-2 Jets in regulation. All in!

Wrong in almost every way. No help! No help. Knowing it was over just sucked the life out of the players. I think if Ottawa or NY lost, the Jets could have kept the lead.
