PIONEER PRESS PICKS: VIKINGS VS. JETS IN LONDON
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast today’s game in London against the New York Jets:
DANE MIZUTANI >
Vikings 23, Jets 13: Aaron Rodgers has tormented the Vikings over the course of his career. Fortunately for the Vikings, it appears Father Time has finally caught up to him.
JOHN SHIPLEY >
Vikings 31, Jets 17: Vikings settle into role of favorite with a spite win against their former nemesis — even if Harrison Smith is the only guy left who remembers — as Jets pay for Vikings’ bad second half last week against Packers.
CHARLEY WALTERS >
Vikings 31, Jets 28: Vikings are the home team in London. QB Aaron Rodgers has elevated the Jets to mediocrity while Vikings QB Sam Darnold has elevated his team to terrific. Great story.
