New York Jets Betting Preview

The Jets kicked off the 2024 season with a pretty shaky Game versus the San Francisco 49ers. That one was a loss 32-19. The good news is that New York won their next pair 24-17 versus the Titans and 24-3 over the rival New England Patriots.

New York took their second loss of the year at home versus Denver this past Sunday. The Jets couldn’t find the end zone in that one, resulting in a 10-9 defeat. QB Aaron Rodgers finished with 225 yards. Mike Williams was the top receiver with four catches for 67 yards.

Over on the Vikings’ side, they’ve been blemish-free in the record column thus far—with a couple of close calls. First came a 28-6 opener win over the Giants, then a 23-17 escape over the 49ers. Game three was another win, this time 34-7 versus the Houston Texans.

Minnesota played another close one in Game four versus the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings were up 28-7 by the end of the first half but had to hang on for the win 31-29. QB Sam Darnold posted 275 yards with three scores and a pick, while Aaron Jones rushed 22 times for 93 yards.

Minnesota Vikings vs NY Jets Prediction

I’m going to stay with the Vikings. Minnesota has a few things to clean up after that close call versus Green Bay, however. The Vikings notched 374 total yards in that one (254 passing) with 22 first downs. That said, Minnesota also posted three turnovers, seven penalties and a tepid 4-of-11 rate on third downs.

As for New York, they looked like their old selves on offense against the Broncos. The Jets posted 248 total yards (184 passing), 3.5 yards per play, 16 first downs, 13 penalties (for 90 yards) and an ugly 4-of-17 rate on third-down conversions. The defense was comparatively great, though (186 yards allowed), so Minnesota may have some troubles moving the ball consistently in this one. Ultimately, however, the Vikings are the better team right now and should be able to win/cover.
