New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils Predictions

Score Prediction Devils 3 Rangers 2

It doesn't take too much convincing from anyone to have me on the side against the New York Rangers this year, as I've been low on them all year. Not every play against the Rangers has panned out, but the Rangers being this kind of chalk against anyone is a pretty easy fade more often than not.

New Jersey just closed in the +140/+150 home underdog range hosting Pittsburgh, and were even shorter home dogs against Washington at the start of the month. No way do I believe New York is anywhere near that same class of team. Easy fade, win or lose.
