The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings were not expected to have some of the best records in their respective conferences. But that is exactly where they are going into Week 13 of the season, as both teams are playing some incredible football. In our NFL picks for this week, we look at Jets vs Vikings in a game featuring two teams that could be heading toward the playoffs.
Jets vs Vikings Betting Pick

? Promo Code: | SPORTS |
This game will be played at US Bank Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, December 4, 2022.
Why Bet The Vikings:
✅ The Vikings come into this game with more rest, having last played on Thanksgiving night at home. Meanwhile, the Jets have to travel for this game on normal rest having played on Sunday against the Bears in their last outing.
✅ Speaking of the Bears, we should not overvalue Mike White’s performance against the Bears in his start for the Jets in Week 12. The Bears have a bottom-six scoring defense in the NFL this season, and White will have a tougher day ahead of it here.
✅ The Jets typically have an advantage with corner Sauce Gardner on the top receiver of their opponent. But no corner today has an advantage against Vikings top weapon Justin Jefferson.

New York Jets
For the New York Jets, their successful season continued last week with a win over the Chicago Bears. Mike White was called upon to start at quarterback in the place of Zach Wilson, and he threw three touchdown passes in the victory. Now the question is whether White can perform like that again, this time against a much better Vikings team.
For the Jets, the key to this game outside of their passing game will be their pass defense. The Vikings are a team that prefers to move the ball through the air whenever possible. While Sauce Gardner has been great this season, being tested by Justin Jefferson may be too much for him.
Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings got a nice win themselves in their last outing, beating the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving night. Their defense left a lot to be desired in that game, but the Vikings did more than enough offensively to get the job done. They will hope for a similar showing with possession of the ball here in order to pick up another victory and move to 10-2 on the year.
So far this season, the Vikings are 5-1 at home on the season. However, the Jets are 4-1 away from home themselves. If the Vikings can get Justin Jefferson going throughout this game despite Sauce Gardner’s coverage, the Vikings could go to 6-1 at US Bank Stadium on the year.
