On Wednesday the Vikings shocked the league by trading for New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss. On Friday, it was reported that quarterback Brett Favre is having elbow troubles. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/procappers\/\"><strong>VIEW OUR TOP CAPPERS PICKS FOR ALL SPORTS &#8211; EVERY SINGLE DAY 24\/7 \u2014\u2013&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date\/Time: <\/strong>Monday, Oct. 11 \u2013 8:30 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Venue:<\/strong> New Meadowlands Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.<br \/>\n<strong>Vikings vs. Jets lines<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>MoneyLine: <\/strong>Vikings +165 \/ Jets -190<br \/>\n<strong>Spread: <\/strong>Jets -3.5<br \/>\n<strong>Over\/Under:<\/strong> Opened at 37 Now 39<br \/>\n<strong>Bodog Has Never Missed A Payout!

They have won three straight, are welcoming back cornerback Darrelle Revis after a two-game absence and get a shot at their former starting quarterback, Favre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Minnesota Can Win:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instant chemistry between Favre and Moss is a necessity for the Vikings, and it shouldn\u2019t be too much of a problem. Favre loves to throw the deep ball, and Moss can pretty much catch anything within his arm range; it\u2019s almost a match made in heaven. As a matter of fact, Favre has lobbied to get Moss on his teams in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of Moss stretches the field for Minnesota in a way no receiver could do so far this year for the Vikings. That will trickledown into success for the rest of the team, most notably, running back Adrian Peterson. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On defense, the team has to focus on the Jets running game. LaDanian Tomlinson is running like it\u2019s 2006, coming off his first 100-yard rushing game of 2010. He looks like he did in his prime and is pacing the Jets offense to an excellent start this year. The Vikings are supposed to have one of the best run defense in the NFL and they better hope to bring it with them on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How New York Can Win:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Darrelle Revis needs to play as if he was never injured. After all, he did injury his hamstring chasing Moss into the end zone.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll most likely be charged with covering Moss \u2013\u00a0again \u2013\u00a0who will no doubt be playing with a lot of energy for his new\/old team. Moss made Revis look silly in their week two matchup, an outcome that is unacceptable for supposedly the best cornerback in the league. If he can suffocate Moss in the passing game, Favre will be forced to run around and find new receivers. The Jets want to keep Favre out of rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, conservatism rules. A strong running game with a few big passes sprinkled in has worked so far; there\u2019s no reason to believe it can\u2019t do so against Minnesota. Mark Sanchez has built some chemistry with his receievers and now has the Jets debut of Santonio Holmes to look forward too. Holmes was suspended for the first four games of the season and gives the already dangerous Jets another strong weapon on offense. Sanchez has yet to throw an interception this season because he hasn\u2019t been trying to force anything; no need to try anything new now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Jets are finally rounding into the Super Bowl-contending form everyone expected them to be. Sanchez isn\u2019t an elite quarterback but he\u2019s not losing games, which is something that couldn\u2019t be said last year. As for Minnesota, the good will brought by the Moss acquisition will also bring wins, just not this week. The team is still a little weak on talent when compared to the Jets. Plus, New York is at home; that\u2019s always an advantage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday Night Football Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New England is 16-8 SU in its last 24 games<br \/>\nNew England is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Miami<br \/>\nMiami is 15-6 SU in its last 21 games when playing at home against New England<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of New England&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 7 of New England&#8217;s last 10 games on the road<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home<br \/>\nMiami is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing New England<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Jets -3.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/baseball-betting-bonus.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">10% Deposit Bonus!!
