The Golden Knights are one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season. The betting public is banking on the Knights to get that win Sunday afternoon and knock off the Winnipeg Jets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final.
But, for the third consecutive game, sharp bettors are backing Winnipeg, which is favored between minus 140 and minus 150 at Las Vegas sports books.
“It’s obviously the Jets’ season (on the line). We expect late money to come on the Jets just because of the spot on the game,” Westgate sports book manager Jeff Sherman said Sunday morning.
