Jets vs. Predators odds, Game 7: Expert on 31-11 run reveals picks for 2018 NHL Playoffs

David Kelly knows the ins and outs for the Predators and Jets and locked in a play for Game 7

The Winnipeg Jets and Nashville Predators put a cap to an epic playoff series with Game 7 on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. The host Predators are -150 on the money line, meaning you'd need to risk $150 to win $100, while Winnipeg is +130 (risk $100 to win $130). The Over-Under, or total number of goals Vegas thinks will be scored, is 5.5.

Before you make your pick, you need to see what SportsLine expert David Kelly has to say. A Toronto-born hockey analyst with multiple advanced degrees, Kelly has been one of the nation's premier hockey handicappers, earning more than $5,000 for $100 bettors this season.

He knows the ins and outs of these two teams, going 31-11 on Nashville games and 17-9 on Winnipeg.

Now, using his proprietary data models and unmatched knowledge of the game, Kelly has examined Game 7 from every angle. We can tell you Kelly is leaning Over, but he has a strong money line pick, and you won't discover his reasons buried in any box score. He's sharing it over at SportsLine.

Kelly knows Nashville is back home after taking Game 6, a 4-0 shutout in Winnipeg. But the Jets have taken two of three in Tennessee this series. The teams have swapped wins all series long.

The series couldn't be any closer. Each team has exactly 338 shots, and exactly 177 shots on goal at even strength.

"Winnipeg's only possible flaw was their collective lack of playoff pressure experience, which they got slapped in the face with to the tune of a 4-0 whiteout at home," Kelly told SportsLine. "I consider [Game 6] to be a major wake-up call."

Mark Scheifele has nine goals and five assists in the postseason for Winnipeg, while Nashville has been driven by Filip Forsberg, who leads the team in both playoff goals (7) and assists (8).

Kelly noted before the series that these were the two best teams in the NHL. His feelings on that haven't changed after six games.
