Vikings/Jags Score Prediction [Part 2]
Minnesota Vikings/Jacksonville Jaguars Score Prediction Round-Table
As I’ve said on almost radio show we do the past couple weeks (cause i have limited material), the 2020 Minnesota Vikings are a hard team to predict. Sure, they’ve gone 5-1 since the bye, but the past couple weeks (with a loss to Dallas and a missed field goal deciding the game against the sub-.500 Panthers) haven’t exactly built confidence in Zimmer’s squad.
Enter the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that is most likely the biggest mess in the NFL. Like the Vikings the Jags were one game from the 2017 Super Bowl, and like the Vikings they’ve had a lot of turnover since then (albeit for completely different reasons).
The Jags’ young and stifling defensive core had a couple of highly publicized hold outs/trade demands from players Jalen Ramsey and Yannick Ngakoue in recent seasons, with the Vikings being a temporary beneficiary of that mess.
The Jags started the season 1-0, only to lose ten straight coming into Sunday’s trap ga… Contest.

I wrote the intro, so, you’ll know where my head is going into this must-win game for the Vikings. They need to not only win, but win big, going into next week’s game against the equally hard to predict (and in need of some wins for the post-season) Bucs.
Luckily, for Vikings fans, I do think that the Vikings will end up getting the big/easy/relaxing win we need. My only fear here is the Jaguars’ run game against the Vikings’ run defense. James Robinson is one of the league’s best young backs, and he could run roughshod over the Vikings D.
However, it wasn’t the D’s fault that last weekend’s game was so close. It was turnovers turned to immediate touchdowns and the at least once a game special teams disaster, that made the Panthers game much closer than it deserved to be.
That’s where my confidence comes from ans why I think the Vikings will reach .500 Sunday.
Vikings – 44
Jaguars- 21
