Jets vs Islanders prediction

I strongly considered the Islanders because they’ve won 7 of the last 8 games against the Jets, and they’re at home with an early start. These early start times usually favor the home team. However, the Islanders are back in a funk and haven’t won a game in two weeks. The Islanders season is all but finished, and the defense has allowed a combined 15 goals in their last three games. The Jets are clearly the better team, in the better form, and you can argue the price should be steeper. Give me the Jets as a bet against the Islanders more than anything.
