The Vikings are entering this game with a 4-0 record overall and they have a 1-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 2-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against the Green Bay Packers 31-29. Sam Darnold was the starting QB and he completed 20/28 passes for 275 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Aaron Jones led the team in rushing yards with 93. Justin Jefferson led the receivers with 85 receiving yards on 6 receptions and 1 TD.

Byron Murphy Jr., Shaquill Griffin, and Kamu Grugier-Hill each came away with 1 interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Vikings listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Vikings have looked really good in their games this season with their 4-0 record overall. They are coming off a big road win against the Packers in their last one and they have pretty much blown out every opponent they have faced this season. Darnold is reviving his QB career in Minnesota along with Brian Flores and the Vikings defense. Meanwhile, the Jets haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-2 record overall. This is the first real season that Rodgers is playing for the Jets, but it definitely hasn't gone as planned. They had a tough season opener on the road against the 49ers which they lost and they looked a lot better after that, winning 2 games in a row, but now they are coming off a bad home loss to the Broncos in their last one, losing 10-9. Their offense looked terrible in that game as their defense kept them in it, but they can't afford to do that here or the Vikings could end this game early with that offense. The Vikings are rolling right now and they are in a better position to handle this international game than a Jets team that has been really up and down and has a lot of questions about themselves to answer. The best way to place a bet here is on the Vikings to cover the spread in this game.
