by Mike White leads the Jets to Minnesota to take on Kirk Cousins and the mighty Vikings in one of Week 13’s best games.
White, who made his first start in place of the ineffective Zach Wilson, was stellar in the club’s 31-10 victory over the Bears in Week 12. New York, installed as an underdog in nine of its first eleven games, is again placed in that role by oddsmakers. The Jets, who are 6-2 on the spread (75%) in their last eight games, are 4-1 in a row and ATS away from MetLife Stadium this season.
Minnesota improved to 4-1-1 ATS over the last six games after a 33-26 victory over New England on Thanksgiving Day as home favorites by 2.5 points. The Vikings, who have won eight of their last nine games SU, are just a pedestrian 4-4-1 ATS in that span.

Odds and Betting Insights
The Vikings, who own the league’s seventh-best passing offense (240.9 yards per game), could struggle to move the ball against a stout Jets defense that has allowed just six total touchdowns in the past six games. for fouls by the opponent. Gang Green’s defense, who ranks fourth in points allowed (17.8 ppg), has been out in the last three road games, surrendering only 9.7 points per game.
The key game in this game is star wideout Justin Jefferson facing Jets rookie shutdown corner Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. Jefferson, who has scored in three of his last four games and ranks second in the NFL in yards receiving (1,232 – one yard less than Tyreek Hill), will face a tough test in Week 13. Gardner, who is the NFL leads in pass break-ups (14), has reined in the likes of Amari Cooper, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Diontae Johnson, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis in his rookie -campaign.
White, who completed 78.6% of his passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns in his debut debut in 2022, will face Minnesota’s worst passing defense having allowed 12 touchdown passes to opposing quarterbacks in the past six games.
The young signaller, who showed poise and moxy in front of the Bears, found a way to bring Elijah Moore into the attack. The talented young wideout, who asked for a trade earlier this season due to his lack of involvement in the offense, found the end zone for the first time in 2022 and ran routes for White. If Moore can become a reliable weapon again, New York’s passing offense — including one of the NFL’s top rookie wideouts in Garrett Wilson — could be dangerous in the long haul.
