Jacksonville Jaguars vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction 11-10-24 NFL Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Jacksonville Jaguars vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction for this NFL Week 9 Game on Sunday, November 10th, at EverBank Stadium.

Vikings Need This Win

The Vikings sit with a 6-2 record overall, but with how competitive the NFC is, this is a game that they can’t slip up on. The Vikings were shut out at halftime against the Indianapolis Colts, but in the second half, they scored 21 points and ended up winning by eight points. Sam Darnold completed 28 of his 34 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. It seems every game Darnold is going to make one or two mistakes, the question is how much will it hurt the Vikings. 

The Vikings are averaging 26.1 points, while their defense is giving up 18.8 points per Game. The offense is ranked 8th in the league, while the defense is ranked 7th. They are averaging nine points per Game in the first quarter, which is top in the league. Justin Jefferson has caught 48 passes for 783 yards and five touchdowns. 

Why the Vikings Will Beat the Jaguars

• The Jaguars have lost 14 of their last 15 games against NFC North opponents.
• The Vikings have won each of their last six Week 10 games.
• The Vikings have covered the spread in each of their last six November games against AFC opponents.
• The Jaguars have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games played on the East Coast.
• The Jaguars have lost the first quarter in each of their last four November games against NFC opponents.
• The Vikings have won the first half in seven of their last eight Week 10 games.

Jaguars Have Been Awful

The Jaguars have been awful, and they come into this Game with a 2-7 record overall. In the last Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, they almost were able to make the comeback late, but they ended up losing 28-23. Trevor Lawrence completed 16 of his 31 passes for 169 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The questions are being asked about Lawrence and for good reason, he has not lived up to the expectations heading into the league. 

The Jaguars are averaging 21.7 points, while their defense is giving up 28 points per Game. The offense is ranked 18th in the league, while the defense is ranked 30th in the league. If the defense struggles, this is going to be a long Game. 

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction

There are going to be plenty of Vikings fans on the road in Jacksonville, and they are going to find a ton of success here. The Jaguars defense is going to have no answer for Justin Jefferson, and he’s going to find the end zone a couple of times here. The Jaguars’ offense isn’t going to reach their season average of 21.7 points, and it will be the Vikings that are going to get the job done. Back the Vikings against the spread here.
