The Jets are off to a solid 3-1 start to the season but because of that, they are overpriced in this game. The three wins have come against division opponents so sitting on a 3-0 record in the AFC East could give New York a little bit of a sense of a security. The Jets were outgained by Baltimore by 106 total yards and against Miami, they were outgained by 34 yards. In the win over New England, they outgained the Patriots so with the exception of Buffalo, the Jets have been far from dominant. Minnesota enters this game with a 1-2 record and coming off a much needed bye week. The Vikings have been playing better than their record indicates as they were right there against New Orleans in the opener and it feasibly could have gone either way while in the loss against the Dolphins, Minnesota outgained Miami by 138 total yards. The victory over Detroit heading into the bye was huge and unlike what we saw with Dallas yesterday, the Vikings used the time off to actually work on things. Obviously the big story here is the addition of Randy Moss for Minnesota. It will be argued that he knows nothing about the offense and will be taken out of the game by Jets All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis. While that may be the case, his presence alone helps the offense. Brett Favre has always thrived with big-play receivers, which is why he has struggled so far without Sidney Rice, and now he has a big-play guy who can go get it and one that opens up the rest of the offense. That will help the running game as well. The Jets are ranked fourth in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing just 74.8 ypg, but they'll have their hands full trying to stop Adrian Peterson, whose 130.7 ypg are ranked second in the league. The Vikings offensive line has looked better this season in run blocking. On the other side, Minnesota will see a steady diet of the Jets running game which has been very effective thus far and that has let to Mark Sanchez looking like an All-Pro. He is not going to look that way tonight. The Vikings have recorded only two interceptions and four sacks so far, which is not typical of this usually aggressive defense. They need to make Jets QB Mark Sanchez uncomfortable with a better edge rush without being forced to blitz a lot. As for the rushing defense, tackle Kevin Williams has been more vocal than usual and has somewhat called out his teammates to get their act together and start playing better football. Still, Minnesota is a solid ninth in rushing defense, allowing 87.3 ypg. Minnesota is on a 6-1-1 ATS run coming off a bye week and it is 4-1 ATS in its last five games against teams with a winning record. The Jets are just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. Minnesota also falls into a solid underdog situation. Play or road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points that are coming off a divisional win going up against an opponent coming off a double digit road win. This situation is 60-29 ATS (67.4 percent) since 1983.
im on the Vikes.Comment -
Vikes and Over for me.. GLDouble Up. Hit em in the head.Comment -
There is no way anybody can put money on the Vikings and feel good about based on what they have already done this season. I would go heavy on the Jets just based on fewer injury problems, home field, and Vikings bad Karma with Favre.Comment -

Sorry you don't know what "fewer" means. All the starters are expected to start for the Jets, no propables or questionables.
Vikings injury report is nothing compared to almost any other NFL team. Cook is out, that's it. I guess you can talk about Favre's elbow or Harvin's migrains, but this is the NFL, everyone's got aches and pains.[/quote]
