Staff Prediction

I like the Vikings to win here. They are going to come out strong on offense after being shut down last week. Their defense is not great, but they are solid against the run and I do not think highly of Mac Jones. Cousins will need to get going early, but I like Minnesota's offense to breakout in this one after last weeks outlier performance.

Pick: Minnesota -2.5

Patriots to cover, Vikings suck in night time prime time games they have a horrible record but I am betting against public money, Vegas would love for the Patriots to win.
To me this is a trick line where Vegas wants the public to bet on the Vikings being at home with a low spread, Vegas loves to trick people thru the lines and in betting you not only have to know the teams but also be able read the lines as well and spot trick lines when Vegas is baiting the public to bet one way or another, I believe this game is a prime example.
Best time to bet live is mid 3rd quarter till end of game.

I think the Pats win this one outright in primetime against Kirk Cousins. New England has had one of the top defenses in the NFL this season and I think they will be able to do enough to slow down Minnesota. Against elite defensive teams allowing less than 17 PPG, the Vikings are just 15-32-3 ATS in those last 50 games.

The Patriots are playing solid defense, and they will go after Cousins to sack or cause a few turnovers! The Likes have some weapons and will get in the end zone! The Pats will have a hard time scoring Points!

Luckily for the Vikings, they get a short week after Sunday's performance, and their offense (which has been solid most of the year) can't really do much worse. Although the Patriots won, the same could be said about their offense too. New England has a significantly better defense, and I think they'll win a close game that goes over. I'd guess 24-20 Patriots.
