I would bet on literally any other eastern team against the Jackets. They're only in the playoffs because everyone else in the east were kind of bad this year.
.
Sure, they'll put up a fight, and first round matchups often go long because the losing side has a lot of energy to grind some wins.
Yeah yeah every team gets hot sometime and they could flick a switch... But with half their key players already one foot out the door? That would be pretty unheard of.
