Minnesota blew an opportunity to earn an impressive road win when kicker Greg Joseph missed a potential 37-yard game-winning field goal in the waning seconds of Sunday’s loss at Arizona. Bettors do not believe that the Vikings will rebound in Week 3 when they host Russell Wilson and the unbeaten Seattle Seahawks.

With a potent offensive line—one that PFF has ranked No. 3 in the league going into 2021—and an armada of talent around him, Jones is poised to start his career with a victory. The Patriots simply have better players and the advantage of playing at home on their side. The Pats won and beat the 7.5-point spread at home last year, an unsurprising result given how well this team has fared in its own digs against the Dolphins.

—Despite the Browns injury, only 50 percent of spread bettors are siding with the Broncos in what’s essentially now a pick ’em line. The Saints have been as up and down against the spread as they have been in the straight-up column — and underdogs have ruled. New Orleans is 2-2 against the spread, with the underdog covering all three by at least 12 points.
