Minnesota Vikings vs Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Picks: The Vikings (5-5) are off a 19-13 loss on the road last week to Tampa Bay. They are as strong as any team in the league in the trenches, as indicated by their +1.4 net rushing average. Peterson ran for 85 yards on 19 carries through three quarters, but his bid for a fifth consecutive 100-yard game fell short when the Vikings ran just eight plays - none of them runs by the NFL's leading rusher - in the fourth quarter. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Heroescasino.com currently list Jacksonville Jaguars -1 favorites to Minnesota Vikings heading into this matchup.

"Honestly, I thought the first half we did a pretty good job running the ball. But the second half, we didn't have too many opportunities to run," Peterson said. "It took us totally out of our game. I really think that was the difference."

The Jaguars (4-6) are off a home loss last week to Tennessee 24-14. QB David Garrard was 13/30 for 135 yards and 1 INT.  The Jaguars poured a lot into last week’s game and played great early but it will be a tough loss to bounce back from. This game will come down to the Jags stopping AP . They do that, hold him to under 120 total yards they should win easily. Minnesota QB Gus isnt the answer and they need to start looking for a replacement. The online sports betting odds at Heroescasino.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Minnesota Vikings vs Jacksonville Jaguars game is set at 41 points.

"They were definitely turning their dials up a little bit and we didn't match it," Garrard said. "That's unfortunate because we had a perfect opportunity. We have to do a lot better than that, especially when the game's on the line." 

NFL Picks: The Vikings are a total disappointment. No pass protection, too many penalties and a veteran QB that can't escape his own shadow. The Vikings have not had great success on the road, the running game should provide an edge in this game. The Jags have been underachieving , I don't trust them , but the Vikings on the road , I don't trust them either! I may have to flip a coin for my pool pick for this game! Over is 4-1-2 in Jaguars last 7 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Over is 5-1-2 in Jaguars last 8 games in November.
