Jets vs. Vikings ATS Pick
Jets +3 (-110)★★★
The Jets are 3-1 ATS road underdogs this season and should score against the Vikings now as well as any point this year. As White showed last Sunday guiding the Jets to their best scoring output in six weeks, starting QB Zach Wilson severely held back New York's offense.
The metrics believe the Vikings are fraudulent despite their 9-2 record. New York allows just 17.8 points per game and has the NFL’s fourth-best Defense DVOA. That compares favorably to a Minnesota defense that falls outside the top 20 in DVOA. The Jets also outrank the Vikings in Offense DVOA, 18th to 20th.
It's possible the better team gets the points in this matchup. As the Vikings showed in a 40-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, they aren’t unbeatable at home. BetMGM offers the best value on the Jets +3 at -110 odds. DraftKings has the +3 line at -115, while FanDuel is -114.
Jets vs. Vikings O/U Pick
Over 44.5 (-105) ★★★★
Games involving the Vikings are all-or-nothing when it comes to scoring. The Vikes had six of 11 matchups clear 44.5 total points in 2022, and amazingly, all six of those saw 50+ scoring totals.
Because of the Jets’ strong defensive play and inconsistent offense, they've only seen two games clear this prescribed total all season. But the Vikings allowed 24 or more points seven times this year. White stabilizes New York's O-line enough to take advantage of Minnesota's D--and the Vikings won’t post their second home dud in three weeks.
The total sits at 44.5 across the board, but FanDuel is the best spot to bet the Over, with -105 odds, friendlier than the -110 DraftKings and BetMGM offer.
Jets vs. Vikings Prop Pick
Jets team total Over 20.5 (-114) ★★★
With the total at 20.5, it feels like we’re betting the Jets to get to 23, barring something zany--or very chalky, like three TDs and PATs. We’d like this number a lot better at 19.5, exactly what it is at BetMGM. But the Over odds are inflated to -165. The juice is not really worth the squeeze there.
Still, the lines at DraftKings (-115) and FanDuel (-114) on the Jets clearing 20.5 points still seem worthwhile given how poorly the Vikes limited opposing scoring recently. Minnesota gave up an average 32.0 PPG over its last three contests, with two of those at home.
New York cleared this team total in three of five road games--and its QB situation is as good now as it's been all year.
