Vikings vs Jaguars Prediction
The current betting odds have the Vikings listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Vikings have looked really good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the NFC North and in the playoff race. They were one of the few undefeated teams left in the NFL before losing 2 games in a row, but they bounced back in their game last week with a win over the Colts and they have stopped the bleeding for now. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-7 record overall which has them near the bottom of the AFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They have looked better in their games lately, coming off a 28-23 loss to the Eagles, but they have been getting behind in a lot of their games this season and have had to play catch-up. Their offense has looked better lately, but their defense has been a big issue all season and they won't be able to stop this Vikings offense from putting up points. This looks like another game where they will be playing from behind in, but the Vikings have a solid defense that hasn't been giving up many points all season so it will be tough for the Jags to make a comeback in this one if they need it. The best way to place a bet here is on the Vikings to cover the spread in this game.

“You feel like you’re going to break through it. You’ve had this adversity, and this is the week we’re going to break through it.

That’s all you can do.” - Trevor Lawrence after their loss against the Eagles in their last game.
