FREE 12/06 NFL JACKSONVILLE @ MINNESOTA

Though the Jaguars (1-10) were a 10-point underdog by midweek, the Vikings (5-6) haven't exactly been getting too comfortable with their recent rise. They lost to Dallas and needed a late rally to beat Carolina at home over the last two weeks, opponents with a combined 7-16 record.
