The Jets gave up just 12 completions to Denver, but one of those completions was a touchdown.

The Vikings, firing on all cylinders, are looking unstoppable, but the Jets’ defense won’t make it easy for them. Minnesota on the moneyline feels like a lock at -149, but New York could keep this one tight. At +124, there’s value in the Jets if they surprise.
