A game in an unusual time slot might be among the biggest decisions in the NFL Week 5 odds market. Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets meet the undefeated Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in London, at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Or as we call it here in Las Vegas: zero-dark-thirty.
OK, it’s only 6:30 a.m., but that’s still early.
“The market is so high on the Vikings and so low on the Jets. So we’re seeing a lot of Vikings money at this point,” Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said on Wednesday night.
Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on a handful of games, as we dive into NFL Week 4 betting nuggets.
London Calling
On the lookahead line a week ago, the Jets were 1-point favorites vs. the Vikings. Then New York laid a huge Week 4 egg, losing 10-9 as 8-point home favorites against the Denver Broncos. That left New York at 2-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) through four weeks.
Meanwhile, Minnesota is the only team running perfect SU and ATS, at 4-0 on both counts. In Week 4 at Green Bay, the Vikes were 2.5-point road underdogs and, after building a 28-0 lead, barely held on for a 31-29 victory.
So when Caesars reopened Jets-Vikings on Sunday evening, it was at Minnesota -2.5, where the spread remained on Wednesday night. Sam Darnold & Co. are proving popular for this matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“It will be a big decision. People aren’t believing in the Jets and are believing in the Vikings,” Feazel said. “It will be interesting to see if the line gets to Vikings -3. If it does, I believe we’ll see Jets pushback.”

In recent years, it’s been rare to say a Washington Commanders game has intrigue. But 2024 is already shaping up much differently, with Washington out to a 3-1 SU and ATS start.
