NFL Football Odds: Minnesota Vikings (+3.5) -110 vs. San Francisco 49er’s – (-3.5) -110: Over/Under 39

Minnesota (1-2) enters this contest fresh off a bye and the team hopes the addition of future Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss will ignite the offense that was so special last season.

Quarterback Brett Favre has been sub-par thus far and his lingering sore right elbow may be more problematic than he leads everyone to believe.

The addition of deep threat Moss should open things up for receivers Percy Harvin and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and football betting sports fans can’t wait to see Favre hookup with Moss for touchdowns.

The media should mob Favre in his return to New York, as recent ‘off field’ altercations have brought another distraction to him and the Vikings. The Vikings strong running game led by Adrian Peterson will be put to the test as the Jets allow just 3.2 yards per rush and 74 yards per game on the ground.

Football betting in the NFL involves finding advantages at the line of scrimmage and both these teams are strong along the offensive and defensive lines.

The Jets are averaging 167 yards rushing to rank #2 in the NFL. LaDainian Tomlinson has added a big boost to the running game alongside Shonn Green while New York quarterback Mark Sanchez has yet to commit a turnover this season.

But that’s likely to change against the Vikings pressure packages and solid secondary as the Vikings have the leagues #4 defense allowing just 276 yards per game with top-10 defensive rushing and passing units to support Favre and the offense.

NFL Insider Tip: The Vikings are 6-1-1 ATS recently off a bye and Brett Favre is 12-1 SU and 9-3-1 ATS his last 13 games with extra time to prepare.

While the Jets have put up some impressive offensive stats the last couple weeks, the sledding will be much tougher against the Vikings stout defense. Look for an output more closely resembling its Week 1 battle against the Baltimore Ravens.

NFL underdogs has been a solid betting proposition again this season, and the situational analysis with Minnesota off a bye and the Jets just finishing and winning three straight division games has the Vikings looking live Monday night as a solid money making opportunity.

Football betting should be huge for the Monday night marquee match-up and with the lights shining bright we’ll take a shot with the underdog as Favre delivers one more time on the big stage.
