Patriots vs Vikings Vegas Odds & Game Preview

Minnesota improved to 6-4-1 overall last weekend after an impressive 24-17 victory over Green Bay on Sunday Night Football. The Vikings scored 10 unanswered points in the 3rd quarter to help lock up a critical victory and stay within 1.5 games of first in the NFC North. QB Kirk Cousins has played very well this season, completing over 70% of his passes for 3,289 yards and 22 touchdowns. Cousins has had a ton of help from arguably the best receiving duo in the NFL – Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. The pair has combined for over 1,800 yards and 14 touchdowns in just eleven games. RB Dalvin Cook finally looks to have completely healed from some lingering injury problems, scoring his first touchdown of the season against the Packers last weekend. As a whole, Minnesota is currently averaging 24.1 points per game (16th overall) on 368.5 yards of total offense.

The Vikings have been pretty solid defensively through their first eleven games, holding opponents to an average of 22.4 points per game (10th overall) on 314.7 yards of total offense. They have been especially dominant against the run, giving up just 93.6 yards per game on the ground (4th overall).

New England now has won seven out of their last eight games to erase any lingering worries caused by a slow 1-2 start to the season. The Patriots were excellent in Week 12, beating the Jets 27-13 at home to improve to 8-3 overall. QB Tom Brady continues to defy Father Time, throwing for 3,031 yards and 19 touchdowns in eleven games. Brady has certainly had a ton of help from a wide variety of offensive teammates, as RB James White, WR Josh Gordon, WR Julian Edelman, and TE Rob Gronkowski have all registered more than 500 receiving yards. The play of Sony Michel has also provided the Pats with a huge boost offensively, as the rookie has already rushed for 586 yards and five touchdowns. Overall, New England is averaging 27.9 points per game (7th overall) on 388.2 yards of total offense.

The Patriots have looked decent on the other side of the ball so far this season, surrendering an average of 22.6 points per game to opponents (11th overall) on 377.5 yards of total offense. However, they have been exposed through the air, as opponents are currently averaging an alarming 269.7 passing yards per game (25th overall).

Free NFL Betting Prediction: New England -5.5

This is easily one of the most anticipated games on the schedule here in Week 13, as both of these teams are right in the thick of things in their respective divisions. New England rebounded nicely after a troubling loss to Tennessee in Week 11 while the Vikings are coming off of a huge divisional win over Green Bay. While I do think this game stays close for at least a couple of quarters, I think the Pats have a bit of an edge on Sunday afternoon. They have also owned Minnesota over the past decade or so, going 4-1 overall.

New England is a very solid 4-1 ATS over their past five home games. They are also 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 4-1 ATS over their last five games against opponents with a winning record. The Vikings are a brutal 106 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning record. They are also only 2-3-1 ATS over their last six games on the road.

I do expect Minnesota to be able to stay within 6-10 points of the Patriots, especially considering how vulnerable New England has been through the air. Thielen and Diggs should give this secondary fits all game long, as they both could easily have 100+ yards receiving yet again in this one. However, having a fully healthy Sony Michel and Gronk back in the lineup was a huge boost for the Patriots last weekend. I’m going to lay the 5.5 points and roll with the home favorite, as I think New England wins this one by a touchdown.

If you would have taken a poll in the preseason which one of the teams in this Sundays home opener for the Minnesota Vikings would be winless, either the Vikings or their opponent the New England Patriots, not many would have gotten this one right. When Tom Brady and the Patriots invade the Vikings new temporary home of TCF Bank Stadium it will be the perennial AFC favorites that will be looking to rebound from a disappointing season opener.

New England coughed up a 10-point first half lead in said opener, allowing the Miami Dolphins to score a mild upset at home in Florida with a 33-20 victory. Brady and the Pats looked almost reliant on the return of Rob Gronkowski at times on offense, and Brady was also sacked four times and lost two fumbles when the wheels fell off in the second half of last weeks loss.

Patriots Vs Vikings Point Spread

Minnesota played a solid game in a 34-6 win last Sunday in St. Louis, although anyone who watched that game knows that the lopsided score had more to do with the Rams being a rudderless ship than with the Vikings being dominate. But there were lots of positives for the Vikings to build off, and this Sundays game against the Patriots will be more of a measuring stick for where the Vikings are under first-year coach Mike Zimmer and his staff at this early point in the season.

Vikings Vs Patriots Score

Oddsmakers arent taking the Vikings opening win over the Ram too seriously yet, setting the opening points spread for this game with the visiting Patriots as 3-point favorites. After a few days on the board, the number hasnt really moved off the magic number of 3 yet.

The over/under total opened at 49 and has also sat tight for the most part at most sportsbooks, however there are a few offshore books that have added the hook to take the push out of play, moving the total up to 49.5.

I already mentioned many of the shortcomings the New England offense will need to fix this week, but the Pats defense will have some work to do too. Specifically tighten up the run defense. The defense let the Dolphins run for nearly 200 yards last Sunday (191 yards) on a full 5.0 yards per carry, numbers that will continue to crush them until its fixed especially since the team on the other sideline this week has Adrian Peterson.

Minnesotas defense is also a work in progress, and their ability to limit Brady to the underneath routes in the passing game will be a huge key come Sunday. The Vikings sacked the Rams five times and forced two interceptions, numbers you just cant count on getting out of Brady two weeks in a row.

These two met last in 2010, in what turned into a 28-18 Patriots win in Foxborough. In fact, New England has won three straight in the head-to-hed series with Minny, including a 31-7 win the last time they played in Minnesota back in 2006.

Since this is an every-four-years AFC-NFC matchup, finding betting trends on small samples often are misleading. However, the under has gone 4-1 in the last five matchups (since 1997).

Badgers Pick to Cover the Point Spread: A team is only as good as it’s most recent games. The Patriots lost a hard fought battle at Miami and have to go on the road again at Minny. The Vikings blew out a Rams team that many thought would have an easy time vs. the Vikes. The Vikings FINALLY have a good coach. They WILL be the surprise team of the year in the NFL. I’m taking the Vikings plus the points and straight up on the moneyline as well.
