When single-game odds opened in May, New York was a 3.5-point favorite. Unsurprisingly, the market has already adjusted to Minnesota’s undefeated start, shortening this line to Jets -1.5. Entering the 2024 campaign, the Vikings’ quarterback situation was uncertain, but Sam Darnold has cleared that up quickly.
The former Jets signal-caller owns the sixth-highest EPA+CPOE composite. Ironically, he is one spot ahead of Aaron Rodgers, who is off to a fine start in his first full season with the Jets.
Minnesota’s defense has also excelled, currently tied for the fifth-fewest yards per play (YPP) allowed. Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy group has done yeoman’s work against CJ Stroud, Brock Purdy, and Daniel Jones. Nevertheless, Rodgers has delivered against the blitz this season, tallying the ninth-most EPA per dropback in these situations.
Meaning Behind Jets Vs. Vikings Opening Odds
Adjusted for the sportsbook vig at best prices, New York has a 51.9% implied win rate.

According to the odds for NFL Week 4, Rodgers and Co. have a much stronger chance of winning than Minnesota, stationed as a short underdog in Green Bay. However, the Vikings would quickly become favorites in this overseas tilt if the Jets fall to the Broncos and Darnold leads Minnesota to an upset victory.
Even if you have an inkling of what could ensue in Week 4, it’s wise to wait on betting the Jets vs. Vikings opening odds until this week’s outcomes are finalized. Variables like injuries are unpredictable and can drastically shift the line.
For instance, the Colts went from five-point underdogs to 3.5-point road favorites after Jordan Love suffered a knee injury in the season opener. But the Packers managed to cover every number and win outright in their Week 2 contest.
