Almost... 1-1 This Week 3-1 Overall
The Vikings should be able to Win easily at home vs the 1-10 Jaguars, however, that is just not the way this team has played this year. The Vikings are 1-4 ATS As Home Favorites this year, so I have no confidence in them covering the spread today.
All six Vikings Home games have went OVER the number this year. The Oddsmakers have set the bar pretty high this week, but I just have to stick with it and trust that they will find a way to get there.
Taking JAGUARS +10.5 and OVER 52

Well, The Vikings played down to expectations, as is there nature as Home Favorites this year. So Jacksonville had the 10.5 covered right from the start.
The Over was looking pretty dicey the whole way, however, despite three missed extra points, it was right there for the taking at the end... "The Chef" thinks he scored but is ruled down short of the goal line... there was no replay challenge, as it was pretty hard to see if a body part was down prior to the ball crossing the goal line... one of the announcers seemed to think there was a knee down... 3rd and goal and the Vikings are going to give it to "The Chef" one more time from the 6 inch line... WHOOPS... Offensive Lineman (who must have had the UNDER) jumps... The kicking unit trots in and kicks the game winning FG and the OVER comes up one pt short :icon_puke .
Oh well, there is always next week....
We Hope!
Looks like the Vikings are 6.5 pt DOGS at Tampa Bay next week. Generally speaking, I like the Vikings in this spot, they are 3-1 ATS as Road Dogs, and TB is 1-3 as Home Favs, but it kind of bugs me that TB is coming off a buy week... will probably just have to shake that off and go with the Vikings... but final call is yet to come.
Best of Luck All,
