Betway Odds:
The Jets and Panthers are both coming off a season opening loss in which both teams felt they deserved a better fate controlling the play but running into a hot opposing goalie. Now they will look to pick up their first points to get their season started with a win and two points. The experts have the home side as slight favourites.
