New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings Best Picks
Kirk Cousins is not perfect with the football and expecting a turnover out of him seems a lot more likely than not. In his last four games, he has thrown four interceptions, so he is going to throw one here. With Sauce Gardner and D.J.
With Reed playing cornerback here, it is going to be tough to throw the football as they are ballhawks. This Jets defense is tied for fourth with 12 interceptions on the season and should be able to force a mistake throughout this game as well.
Kirk Cousins Over 0.5 Interceptions (-105)
Justin Jefferson is one of the best wide receivers in the game and he is going to prove that here. He is averaging 115.6 receiving yards in his last five games and this offense is going to want to go to him here.
I do not believe that Robert Saleh is going to double him on the outside, and instead trust Sauce Gardner to defend him one-on-one. Jefferson is going to get open and the ball is going to find him as he has 11+ targets in three of the last four games.
Justin Jefferson Over 83.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings Prediction
This is one of the bigger matchups on the slate as the Jets need to win to keep their playoff hopes in their hands.
The Vikings are trying to get the top seed in the NFC. This Jets defense is better than the Vikings offense and should be able to score enough points to keep this game very close.
Mike White has been able to push the ball down the field and make this New York offense a lot more versatile as well so go with them to cover the spread.
Prediction: New York Jets +2.5 (-105)
