The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings meet for a highly anticipated matchup in London for a 9:30 AM ET kickoff on Sunday.
The Minnesota Vikings are one of the biggest surprises of the season sitting at a perfect 4-0 with wins over the Giants, 49ers, Texans, and Packers. The last three wins for Minnesota featured victories of 2023 playoff teams.
The New York Jets haven’t had the start they imagined with a 2-2 record and a 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos last week. The Jets’ two wins have come against the Titans and Patriots, who are both 1-3 on the season.

The latest odds as of Friday courtesy of DraftKings:
- Moneyline: Vikings (-140), Jets (+120)
- Spread: Minnesota -2.5 (-110)
- Total: 40.5
The look-ahead line for this game was Jets -4, but seeing Minnesota favored by -2.5 points is no surprise and neither is the look-ahead total of 44.0 being 40.5 now. Both corrections are valid, but there’s nothing like an overseas group trip to throw off your momentum. Expect the sharps to take the Jets after this matchup features a preseason spread swing of 6.5 points through a four-game sample size.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Sam Darnold to go Under 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Jets in London:
“Sam Darnold has thrown at least two touchdown passes in all four games this season, a feat that no one expected. However, I expect that will discontinue that at some point and a trip overseas is about as good as any.
The four quarterbacks of Brock Purdy, Jacoby Brissett, Will Levis, and Bo Nix all combined for one touchdown pass through four games against the Jets this season.
New York has permitted 20 total points in the past three weeks and although it came versus some pretty bad offenses and quarterbacks, I’ll roll with the Jets’ pass defense and say they keep Darnold Under 1.5 passing touchdowns tossed.”

Quarterback matchup for Jets vs. Vikings
- Jets: Aaron Rodgers – In 2023, barely played a snap before he tore his Achilles, and he’s had to shake off some rust to start 2024. The 40-year-old has totaled 849 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 1 interception, plus a 50.6 QBR (20th).
- Vikings: Sam Darnold – In 2023, Darnold was a backup for most of the season for the Panthers, so his MVP form this year has been a nice surprise for Minnesota. Darnold has 11 touchdowns to 3 interceptions to go along with 932 passing yards through four games.
Jets and Vikings injury update
- Minnesota’s TE TJ Hockenson is questionable for this matchup.
- New York’s OL Morgan Moses is out (knee) and LB CJ Mosley (toe) is doubtful.
