Struggling Jets
After looking good in a 24-3 win at home over the New England Patriots, all the Jets could muster in the loss to Denver was three field goals. Aaron Rodgers struggled in the game, taking five sacks and not getting the offense into the end zone.
The run game also was not very good. Breece Hall ran the ball 10 times for just 4 total yards. Braelon Allen led the team with 34 yards and had an additional 12 in the receiving game. Mike Williams was the top target with 67 yards in the game.
The New York Jets will head back home and take on the Buffalo Bills after this. The game is a Monday Night Football game slated for October 14th.
Red hot Vikings
One of the early season candidates for Most Valuable Player in the National Football League has been Sam Darnold. The signal caller through four games has tossed for more than 930 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Darnold has just three interceptions thrown so far this season.
Justin Jefferson is an elite receiver and leads the team with 358 yards on 20 receptions. Jefferson also has four touchdown catches, while Jalen Nailor is second on the team with three. Aaron Jones, in his first season with Minnesota, is averaging 80.3 yards per game on the ground.
The Vikings will take their bye week following this game. After the bye, they will host the Lions on October 20th, and then a quick turn around to Los Angeles, to take on the Rams on October 24th.
Vikings Top Jets in London
This is a game that the Minnesota Vikings should win. Minnesota is doing everything well right now, and the Jets are still trying to figure some things out. The Jets’ offense looked poor, and now they get a Minnesota defense that has been good. Things are not going to get much better for the Jets in this game. Minnesota moves to 5-0, while New York falls to 2-3. We like the Minnesota Vikings -2.5 over the New York Jets on Sunday from London. Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your National Football League betting!
