The Vikings are one of the final undefeated teams in the NFL. Next up, they will face the struggling Jets in what should be a winnable matchup in London. We will break down the full odds and give our prediction for the upcoming Jets vs Vikings game below.
Jets Clamped by Mediocrity
The Jets continued to struggle on offense last week, losing at home to the Broncos. The 10-9 defeat looked a lot like the Jets of the past decade, and not the New York team we were sold on this offseason. It’s tough to trust the Jets when they need 40-year-old Rodgers to magically revert to a decade-younger version of himself. With wins against the combined 1-6 Titans and Patriots, the Jets still need to prove they can beat good teams.
Victorious Vikings Surprising Many
When Minnesota moved on from Kirk Cousins, the expectation was they would rebuild this year. They drafted a rookie QB, JJ McCarthy, and planned to ease WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, as well as TE T.J. Hockenson back into the mix following injuries. An injury to McCarthy should have set them back even further, but the Vikings instead surged to 4-0 under backup QB Sam Darnold. He’ll be eyeing up revenge vs the Jets.
Jets to Succumb to Vikings Freeze
All eyes will be on Sam Darnold in this game. After a rough start to his career with the Jets, Darnold has blossomed with the Vikings. He has a 119 passer rating through four games, which ranks top three in the league. New York’s defense will be the toughest he faces so far this season, so Minnesota’s offensive line will need to protect him well to aid the Vikings path to 5-0. We see them winning this Jets vs Vikings matchup by 7.
