The Minnesota Vikings are still right near the top of the NFC despite all of their doubters, Kirk Cousins and Kevin O’Connell have their team at 9-2. The New York Jets are also one of the surprises of the season, but the bigger surprise is that they’ve benched Zach Wilson for Mike White. The New York offense looked much better with White last week and maybe they can improve on their 7-4 record. 

Zach Wilson isn’t the only 2021 first round pick that will be on the bench for this game, Christian Darrisaw is out for Minnesota and that will be a big blow to their O-line. That might create value for the under on Minnesota’s offense. 

Best NFL Prop Bets for Jets vs. Vikings

  • Kirk Cousins Under 256.5 Pass Yards (-114)
  • Mike White Over 259.5 Pass Yards (-110)
  • Elijah Moore Anytime TD +270

Kirk Cousins Under 256.5 Pass Yards (-114)

Kirk Cousins doesn’t have his all-pro caliber left tackle for this game and that’ll be a massive blow. Darrisaw first went out in the Vikings blow-out loss to Dallas two weeks ago and the Minnesota offense really couldn’t function against that pass rush without him. The Jets have an outstanding pass rush, they are top five in pressure generated and blitz the second least in the NFL. They will give Cousins problems and I think win this game because of how they can slow down the Minnesota offense. 

Mike White Over 259.5 Pass Yards (-110)

White hasn’t played a lot in his NFL career, but when he does he’s mostly played well. Last game against Chicago he threw for 315 yards on 22/28 passing and now he gets to face the worst pass defense in football. It’s a big total for a “back-up” quarterback, but I think he easily goes over. 

Elijah Moore Anytime TD +270

Moore has already asked out of New York this season and was not happy with this offense for most of the year, but last game he looked happy to have Mike White on the field. He had two catches for 64 yards and a touchdown and it was his best game of the year. I think he gets even more involved with White on the field for the second straight week.
