It’s going to be fun watching this Jets defense against this Vikings defense, and which side will have the edge. The issue for the Jets is the quarterback position. Yes, White looked solid last week, but there’s now tape on him, he’s going on the road and well the Vikings aren’t the Bears. I’d need more than a field goal to consider the Jets here on the road. Give me the Vikings.
