Vikings vs. Jets picks: Even an ocean away, Vikings can’t get away from Aaron Rodgers
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’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.
