Preview

The New York Jets will travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Sunday at the U.S. Bank Stadium. These teams haven't met since 2018-2019 season where the Vikings beat the Jets 37-17 in NY covering the spread as -3.5 pts favorites.

 

New York Jets

The Jets get here with 7-4 record and are 4-1 on the road ranking 3rd in the AFC East. Last week, they beat the Jets 31-10 at home.  White led the Jets to a season-high 466 yards in the rain while running the offense proficiently and successfully on 22 of 28 attempts for 315 yards.

The Jets defense is allowing 17.8 points per game, ranking ninth in the NFL. They're giving up 328 yards per game and allowing an average of only 111.0 yards rushing per game. The ability of the Jets to generate pressure without blitzing is what makes their defense effective, particularly the pass defense. They sack quarterbacks on 8.5% of dropbacks, which ranks fifth in the NFL.

 

Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings have won 8 of their last 9 games and are 5-1 at home so far this season ranking 1st in the NFC North. In their last game at home, they beat the Patriots 33-26. Kirk Cousins threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns. Justin Jefferson had 139 receiving yards and one of the touchdown passes from Cousins.

Defensively, they have been struggling, allowing 23.1 points per game and they are last in opponent passing yards per game. They've been better on the ground, allowing 4.3 yards per carry.

 

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Jets' last 6 games.

NY Jets are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games.

NY Jets are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games against Minnesota.

NY Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.

Minnesota are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games.

The total has gone OVER in 13 of Minnesota's last 19 games.

Minnesota are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Minnesota's last 7 games against NY Jets.

 

Prediction

The Jets have been great this season even with their leading quarterbacks injuries. They have won 7 of their last 10 games thanks to their tough defense who is allowing 17.8 points per game. The Vikings are also having a great season and the offense is on fire but they haven't been able to stop the other teams as they're allowin 23.4 points per game. This should be a close game and I expect the Jets defense to slow down the Vikings offense. Take the under. 

PICK: Under 44.5 (-110)
