Jets vs Blackhawks Picks and Predictions, November 14
Our Jets vs Blackhawks prediction for 14 November is no bet. Chicago is 4.8 points better on our number than on the price, short of the 5 points we need.
The market makes the Blackhawks a 42.8% winner at home. Our number makes them 47.6%. The gap points to Chicago, but it falls 0.2 short of the bar, and below the bar we do not bet.
Jets vs Blackhawks odds
The Winnipeg Jets at Chicago Blackhawks is Saturday 14 November, 3:30 PM ET, at United Center. DraftKings has the Jets -148 and the Blackhawks +124, read 13 November 2026 at 16:33 UTC. Those are also the opening prices. Nothing has moved.
A book builds a margin into every pair of prices, an extra that makes the two add to more than 100%. At -148 and +124 they come to 104.3%. With the margin out, the Jets are 57.2% and the Blackhawks 42.8%.
The total is 5.5, with the over at -135 and the under at +114. Without the margin that is 55.1% over and 44.9% under. On the puck line the Jets are -1.5 at +170 and the Blackhawks +1.5 at -205, which is 35.5% and 64.5% once the margin is out.

Jets vs Blackhawks matchup
Our method uses two halves of last season: Chicago at home and Winnipeg on the road. The Blackhawks went 14-19-8 at United Center in 2025-26, a 34.1% home win rate. They scored 2.61 a game there and allowed 3.29, a deficit of 0.68. The Jets went 16-19-6 on the road, a 61.0% road loss rate. They also scored 2.61 a game and allowed 3.24, a deficit of 0.63.
The other two halves are outside the number. Chicago went 15-20-6 on the road, a 36.6% win rate. Winnipeg went 19-16-6 at home, 46.3%. Neutral-site games are left out of both halves.
Neither team made the playoffs. Winnipeg went 35-35-12 for 82 points and was outscored by 29. Chicago went 29-39-14 for 72 points and was outscored by 62. The Blackhawks lost by two goals or more in 31 of 82 games. The Jets won by two or more in 19.
In close games, Chicago went 13-8-14 in one-goal games and won 7 of 21 that went past 60 minutes. Winnipeg went 16-12-12 in one-goal games and won 7 of 19 past regulation.
The 2025-26 meetings:
| Date | Arena | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 30 October 2025 | Winnipeg | Jets 6-3 |
| 19 January 2026 | Chicago | Blackhawks 2-0 |
| 3 March 2026 | Winnipeg | Jets 3-2 OT |
| 31 March 2026 | Chicago | Jets 4-3 OT |
The two games in Chicago are inside both halves of our number. The two in Winnipeg are in neither.
Jets vs Blackhawks prediction and best bet
Projected score: Winnipeg Jets 3.0, Chicago Blackhawks 2.9
Each team’s goals are the average of what it scored and what the other team allowed in 2025-26 at this venue. That uses Chicago’s 2.61 at home against Winnipeg’s 3.24 allowed on the road, and Winnipeg’s 2.61 on the road against Chicago’s 3.29 allowed at home. This is a projection of goals from last season, and it is not a bet.
Pick: No bet
No bet on the moneyline. The gap is 4.8 points toward the Blackhawks at +124, against a threshold of 5. The price is DraftKings, read 13 November 2026 at 16:33 UTC, unchanged from the open.
Our home win chance is the average of Chicago’s 34.1% home win rate and Winnipeg’s 61.0% road loss rate from 2025-26, with overtime and shootout wins counted as wins. That gives the Blackhawks 47.6% and the Jets 52.4%. The market has 42.8% and 57.2%.
The projected score has Winnipeg ahead by 0.1 while our gap leans Chicago. A goal projection and a price measure different things: a 0.1-goal edge is close to a coin flip, and +124 already pays Chicago for being the weaker side.
What kills the bet
There is no bet to kill, so here is what would create one. The Blackhawks become a bet at +126 or longer against Jets -148, and at +135 or longer whatever the Jets’ price. The Jets become a bet at +111 or longer whatever Chicago’s price, or at +149 or longer against the Blackhawks’ +124.
There is a floor under all of that. Neither side is a bet while the market gives it under 40% with the margin out, which is a price of about +150 or longer, however wide the gap. The method has no adjustment for the strength of the opponent, and on underdogs its number has run above what the teams then did.
None of the injuries on either list changes the method. Winnipeg is without DeMelo, Salomonsson, Namestnikov and Bjugstad, and Chicago without Byram. No goalie is on either list. Check the lineups before you bet.
The total and the puck line
Chicago’s games went over 5.5 in 42 of 82 last season, a 51.2% rate. Winnipeg’s went over in 47 of 82, a 57.3% rate. Chicago’s home games averaged 5.9 goals and Winnipeg’s road games 5.85.
That gives 54.3% for the over against 55.1% priced, a lean of 0.9 points to the under. Pass on the total.
On the puck line, the Jets won by two goals or more in 19 of 82 and the Blackhawks lost by two or more in 31 of 82. Averaged, Jets -1.5 covers 30.5% of the time against 35.5% priced. That is a gap of 5.0 points toward Blackhawks +1.5 at -205. Our method stakes the moneyline only, so this is a lean on the Chicago side, not a bet. The page’s call stays no bet.
