    NY Jets vs Vikings odds

    Spread (BetMGM): Vikings by 2.5

    Vikings’ keys to victory

    Continue fast starts. One of the biggest surprises in the NFL is Minnesota, which became the first team to move to 4-0 on the season. What's more impressive is how dominant they've been opening games, outscoring opponents, 59-17, in the first half through four weeks.

    NY Jets’ keys to victory

    Get Garrett Wilson going early. The Jets' No. 1 wide receiver was tied with a team-high in targets (8) and catches (5) in Week 4. However, with a hobbled Aaron Rodgers under center, the duo will need to be on the same wavelength here in order to have a chance at giving the Vikings their first loss.

    Matchup to watch

    Jets RBs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen vs Vikings defense. The Jets’ backfield duo was stifled all afternoon against the Broncos, combining for just 38 yards on 18 carries (2.1 yards per carry). Hall and Allen will need to be better against a Minnesota defense that has been one of the best at stopping the run.

    Who wins?

    The health and status of Aaron Rodgers plays a major factor here. The Vikings have shown through the first month of the season that they may be one of, if not the most complete team in the NFL. Can Rodgers, who is clearly not 100 percent, defeat a Minnesota team that he's done fairly well against in his career (17-11-1 vs. Vikings)? Potentially. However, I don't see that happening with the Vikings being in full control across the pond, earning a double-digit victory.

    Vikings 27, Jets 17
