Betting Odds: Min +4/NYJ -4 Over/Under Total: 38. There are so many storylines in the Minnesota Vikings trip to New Meadowlands Stadium to face the New York Jets in an NFC-AFC matchup, its tailor made for the lights of primetime on ESPNs Monday Night. NFL Week 16: Vikings at Saints Vegas Odds, Pick, Preview (Dec 25) By Nikola Velickovic. — December 21, 2020. — Updated January 30, 2021. Credit: Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports. The Minnesota Vikings will need to beat the Saints in New Orleans and hope to see other results falling their way to stay in the playoff hunt.

When the Patriots (2-5) travel to MetLife Stadium to play the Jets on 'Monday Night Football' (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN), they will look to close Week 9 in the NFL with a much-needed first win since Sept. 27 over the Raiders.

Coach Bill Belichick is sticking with Cam Newton at quarterback as he tries to keep getting the better of Adam Gase. The Jets are set again to turn to backup Joe Flacco with Sam Darnold dealing with an aggravation of his right shoulder injury.

The Patriots, meanwhile, will continue to be without their best defensive player, cornerback Stephon Gilmore, missing a second straight game with a knee injury. Newton also will be without his two best wide receivers, N'Keal Harry and Julian Edelman.

Here's everything to know about betting on Patriots vs. Jets in Week 9, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for 'Monday Night Football.'

Three things to watch

Cam and the running game

Vikings Vs Jets Odds

Newton is a major slump with his passing, but the Patriots should want to lean heavily on his rushing ability to complement more feature work from talented second-year back Damien Harris, expected to play through his ankle injury.

Flacco and the passing game

The Patriots have been proved to be very vulnerable against the run, but they can adjust up front to contain the Jets' anemic ground attack (No. 22 in the league). They will force Flacco to throw the ball and throw different blitz and coverage packages at him. Flacco will be helped by top wide receivers Breshard Perriman (concussion) and Jamison Crowder (groin) playing.

Tanking for Trevor?

Odds

The Jets are the only winless team in the NFL and now the Jaguars are the only one-win team in the NFL. They have a bit of a cushion to land the unquestioned top prospect in the 2021 draft, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Patriots have been trying to play hard for Beilichick during the month-long drought, but it will be interesting if they also get outplayed by a team they absolutely should beat badly.

Stat that matters

282.8. That's how many passing yards per game on average the Jets give up going into Week 9, which is good for No. 29 in the NFL, ahead of only the Vikings, Falcons and Seahawks. Note that Newton by far had his best passing outing against Seattle, and that was also a road game at night. Perhaps Newton will be inspired in prime time to run and pass his way to keeping the Patriots' QB job for the foreseeable future.

Patriots vs. Jets prediction

Vikings Vs Jets Odds

The Patriots will grind this game away with a run-heavy approach led by Newton and Harris, with a few calculated downfield shots to their best wide receiver standing, Jakobi Meyers. The Jets won't find much success running with Frank Gore and others, putting Flacco in tough spots with versatile pressure and tough coverage. In a week of bad prime-time games for the NFL, the Patriots will be playing the role of either the Packers or the Saints, only with much fewer points.
