Minnesota Vikings vs Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
I’ll go with Minnesota. The Vikings had a rough first half against the Colts in their last game, eventually posting three turnovers. To their credit Minnesota cleaned up their act in the second, ultimately giving up just 227 yards (159 passing) and 13 first downs. In the end, it was a pretty solid overall effort to halt a two-game skid.
As for Jacksonville, they’re coming off a rough loss to the Eagles. The Jags had three turnovers in that one and posted just 215 yards (155 passing) with 4.2 yards per play. On defense, Jacksonville gave up a ton of rush yards (237) as Philly held the ball for 38:12 of game time. I like the Jags to hang around for a while in this one but Minnesota should control things.
