Free Betting Tips – Vikings are Randy on Beating Jets

The Free Betting Tips for this anticipated Monday Night Football matchup have a lot to do with what Receiver Randy Moss adds to the Vikings dismal offensive power.

The New York Jets are hosting another team they hope to shut down with their reputable defense and smash mouth play.

NFL Betting Lines:

Minnesota Vikings (2-2 ATS) +4 ½ (ML +170)
New York Jets (2-1-1 ATS) -4 ½ (ML -210)
Over/Under Game Total  38

This NFL Point Spread line has moved over the weekend a full point from the Jets being favored by 3 ½ to 4 ½ points. This would imply that much of the advice including Free Betting Tips is advising to bet on the Jets, because that takes major betting on New York to move the line that much.

Minnesota had a chance to rest for a week and get a player returning after a 6 year absence. I’ll try not to dwell too much on Minnesota’s acquisition of Randy Moss this week in case you may have heard about it.

I must say this should provide them with the much needed deep threat they need, and you can’t help but think this makes them an entirely different team this season.

The leader in receptions for the Vikings is Adrian Peterson if that gives you a clue at their passing issues. They only have 4 passes for more than 20 yards this season which is the worst in the NFL.

Minnesota needs some serious help in their offensive scoring. They are only averaging 14.3 points a game ranking 30th and only ahead of San Francisco and Carolina in this category.

That’s less than half of what they averaged all of last season with the second highest average points per game in the NFL at 29.4. Based on my knowledge of the Vikings, one of the Free Betting Tips would be to bet the Over on Minnesota totals now as they can’t help but improve on their poor start this season.

The Jets went from 17th at 21.8 points last season to averaging to 26.5 points and 5th this year so far.

The Jets also have some returning stars for this game. Calvin Pace, the outside linebacker, is expected to be back after a broken foot, and Santonio Holmes is done with a 4-game substance abuse suspension.

 Darrelle Revis tweets he will also be back for the battle. He covered Randy Moss week 2 against the Pats after calling him a slouch. You may remember Moss’s 34 yard one-handed touchdown reception in that game against him.

LaDanian Tomlinson rushed for his first 100 yard game since October, 2008 last week against the Bills dreadful rush defense. I would not expect a repeat performance against a Minnesota D allowing only 87.3 yards on the ground per game.

One of the keys to the game could be how the Jets handle the penetrating defensive line including Kevin and Pat Williams. The major matchup will be the Jets D’Brickashaw Ferguson going against Jared Allen.

Most of the facts point to the Jets as your winner, but there are many intangible facts here. The most important fact for the Vikings is time. They’ve already lost 2 out of 3 games, and they can’t let the playoff race get away from them.

The Free Betting Tips advice on this game involves two very good defenses, and I believe this game will be very close. Getting 4 ½ points is a big jump up from only getting 3 points, so I like that.

The Free Betting Tips I am advising for you is to take the Minnesota Vikings +4 ½ points based on the addition of Randy Moss for the offense and the fact that it will be low scoring and close with these 2 excellent defenses.
