The Minnesota Vikings will try to snap out of their four-game road losing streak on Sunday when they take on the free-falling Jacksonville Jaguars in an NFL Week 14 matchup at EverBank Field. The Jaguars have tumbled to the bottom of the AFC South with seven straight losses, and are winless in their past three home dates.
- The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Jaguars' last 10 games as home underdogs.
- The Jaguars are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games in Week 14.
- The Vikings are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as favorite.
The 6-6 Vikings' playoff hopes suffered a devastating blow with last week's 17-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, which drops them to 1-6 straight up over their past seven. Minnesota has recorded against the spread wins in two of three, but has failed to cover during its four-game road slide, scoring 13 or fewer points in three of those outings.
The 2-10 Jaguars have also struggled to generate offense, failing to crack 20 points in five of their past eight outings. Jacksonville sports a 1-6 SU record at home this season, but has covered in 10 of its past 20. The Jaguars are also a surprising 7-2 ATS in their past nine after failing to cover in their previous home contest.
The Jaguars have dropped three straight to Minnesota, including a 30-12 loss to the Vikings as 2.5-point home chalk eight years ago in the only matchup between the two clubs in Jacksonville.
