Vikings Seven Point Road Favorites Against Jaguars

• With Mac Jones expected to start, the Jaguars are seven-point home underdogs against the Vikings.
• Minnesota has gone 2-1 ATS on the road this season and Jacksonville has gone 1-2 ATS at home.
• Aaron Jones over 70.5 rush yards and Sam Darnold over 1.5 passing TDs are the two best props.

JACKSONVILLE – The Minnesota Vikings are seven-point road favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings were favored by 4.5 until news broke that Mac Jones is the expected starting quarterback for Jacksonville for the injured Trevor Lawrence.

The Jaguars have gone 1-2 ATS and SU as the home team this season. The Vikings have covered in two of their three games played this season on the road.

Vikings to cover is one of the best bets at legal sports betting sites for this matchup, even with the moving lines. Mac Jones has not started a football game since being benched late in the 2023 season against the New York Giants. He has played a few snaps in two blowout games for Jacksonville this season and was sacked in each game.

The Vikings defense is expected to be at full force this week, as Blake Cashman is tending towards playing. Cashman has been suffering from turf toe, following the Vikings’ win against the Jets in London.

Sam Darnold Over 1.5 Passing TDs

Sam Darnold is currently tied for fourth for the most passing touchdowns in the 2024 season, with 17 total. The Jaguars this season lead the league in average passing touchdowns allowed to opposing quarterbacks at 2.1. After throwing for three on Sunday night against the Colts, look for Darnold to continue to stay hot in Duval.

Aaron Jones Over 70.5 Rushing Yards

In three of the last four weeks, Jacksonville’s defense has allowed huge numbers to opposing running backs.

• Week 9: Barkley – 27 carries for 159 yards, TD
• Week 8: Jacobs – 25 carries for 127 yards, 2 TD
• Week 6: Swift – 17 carries for 92 yards, TD

On the season, Aaron Jones has averaged over 15 carries per game and over 70 rush yards per game. Favored by seven, the Vikings playing with the lead should give Jones plenty of carries/chances to crush his rush yards prop total at NFL betting sites in Jacksonville.
