So I am back from catching hundreds of fish in the glacial lakes of SD. It's time to predict the score of Sundays game. 
The Jets defensive back field is top of the line and their pass rush is very good. Rodgers is very accurate and quick to get rid of the ball. He is also very good at reading defenses pre snap, as well as drawing people off sides for a free bomb down the field.
So the majority of so called experts, who have been wrong about the Vikings so far, are choosing the Vikings to win.
But they all think it will be a close game. I'm here to tell them they are wrong again!
The Vikings will win but it wont be close.
Vikings 27 Jets 17.

Saw on one broadcast 3 of 4 experts picking the Jets. They're a dangerous team with talent everywhere. I can definitely see a path to victory for them. As good as our corners have been, we probably represent the worst corners Garrett Wilson has faced so far this year (yes, as as matter of fact, I am a frustrated Wilson owner). And among the QBs we've faced so far, Rodgers is probably the least likely to be impacted by what Brian Flores does.

If their best-in-league corners can lock up Jefferson and Addison and frustrate Darnold, this could be long day for the Vikings. Still, the Vikings are just the better team and I think O'Connell is going to want to put on a show for the Brits. Vikings 26 Jets 17

Vegas only has us as 2.5 pt favorites, i am with them, this game is going to be a real test to our undefeated run, likely the biggest test to date for the reasons MB stated, solid D and competent seasoned QB.

What lakes did you end up fishing? Good thing you arent here this weekend, there wont be any boats out, 30 sustained gusts to 55, Waubay will have surfable waves on the north end today. Good thing the temps are still warm or all the roads on the north shores would be glaciers.

Happy to hear you had success, i dont think a lot of people have been finding the fishing as good as usual, although the lows are starting to cool the lakes down.

The Jets barely beat the Titans....Will Levis had to gift wrap it for them. And they beat the Patriots (whoop de do). Got smoked by San Fran and lost to Denver when Nix threw for 60 yards. Why again is this such a massive 'test' for the Vikings again? They also have injuries, while Minnesota is very healthy. Not seeing this misunderstood juggernaut with the Jets.

I think its more Tight Sphincter Syndrome because Minnesota is 'due' for a loss. Not saying the Vikings will win, god knows what will happen. But if you are grading the Jets on their performance so far this year, fans shouldn't be gripping like this.


TSS lol I like it.  Mostly because it’s true.  I wanted to pick the Vikes in a wipeout, but my tss is telling me it’s gonna be razor edge toss up.

lol, I think we've all acquired TSS as long time fans. In fact, after going weeks without any symptoms, the 2nd half of the Packer's game I had major TSS flare ups. ;)

Drink more in the first half?

I know this is a no/no, but the vikings rarely have won against the Jets. We've played them 12 times and they have won 8.

Somethings just transcend the decades and maybe I got me a little TSS going too.

I wont predict anything other than Vegas @ 2.5 is probably on the nutz. This should be close till the end.

I've been torn on this one, but I'm gonna go with Flores supposedly being very annoyed by the defensive failings last week; he'll want to dial up some special things for A-a-ron.

31-13 Vikings, as both Sam and Flores seek some brutal redemption.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Bitter is full of little fish and you have to sort through maybe 50 to 70 fish a day to get your limit of fish above 15'. We didn't get any big ones there but we got a lot of mice eaters between 15 to 18". One 22" we released. Couldn't keep bait on the hook. It was a blast. The fish are everywhere. Shallow in the weeds. Deep between weed beds. And best on main lake humps surrounded by deeper water.
Opitz is going well with nice sized Walleyes and decent Perch. Drywood was slow for us. Only got one nice one.
We fished the North end of Waubay on Monday when the wind was blowing 40 mph out of the West. We only caught a few small ones and got off the water after about 3 hours of getting wet and pounded.
Had frost on the boat and truck yesterday morning when I left for home. That should get the Perch and Walleye to start bunching up and feeding more. Water temps were 60 to 61 degrees.

Confidence is still high,
The 4th qtr collapse last week doesn't happen without Nailor's bumble on the punt. He won't be returning punts this week.

Jets      13
Vikings  30

Well to be honest, last season I predicted no playoffs and posted no reason to watch. This season I predicted playoffs.

I believe one of two things will happen. Either Rodgers' experience will allow him to pick apart the Flores defense or the Vikings will expose him for the old man that he is. I pick the latter. Rodgers is pulled in the fourth quarter because of the ass kicking he's taking, Jets score late to make it look closer than it was ... Vikings 27 to 14.

Couple things I think I think: Breece Hall, shut down last week by the Broncos, has a comeback game. And Tyler Chandler, nodding to Aaron Jones heavy usage in Green Bay, gets more yards than Jones this week.

Real curious to see how our receivers play against the Jets best-on-planet corner duo. Typically, you'd think this is a Nailor game, but this is where our receivers' ability to line up at all three positions is going to make a difference.
