Favre visits Jets on Monday Night

The Minnesota Vikings, a team that is still looking for an identity, will be taking on the New York Jets who appear to be in the driver's seat in the AFC.
For the Vikes, another loss would send them to 1-3 and most likely 2½-games behind in the NFC North. Quarterback Brett Favre will be making his return to face the Jets, a team he led for one season.
Favre has put together some very questionable numbers in this, his second season with Minnesota. He is completing just 61.9 percent of his passes for 597 yards and two scores against six INTs. Those six picks are alarming, especially considering the fact that last season, he only threw seven the whole year.
After the first three games of the season in which he dealt with a very patchwork group of wide receivers, salvation appears to be coming to town in the form of WR Randy Moss. The former first-round pick out of Marshall makes his triumphant return to Minneapolis, the place where his Hall of Fame career got started. His job is going to be to step into the role of WR Sidney Rice (hip injury), who became a Pro Bowler last year with Favre throwing him the football. Rice is on the shelf for at least a few more weeks, and Moss will probably immediately become the main man for a team that desperately needs a go to guy.
For the Jets, the offense has suddenly started to look incredibly sharp. Quarterback Mark Sanchez, the man that followed "Broadway Brett," looked a lot like his predecessor last year, throwing a ton of INTs. However, he now has eight TD passes without an INT in four starts this season.
As always, head coach Rex Ryan is helping him out with a great ground game and a stifling defense. Running Backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Shonn Greene have accounted for 564 yards on the ground. Greene has yet to find the end zone this year, but LT has already been there three times.
The Jets rank No. 2 in the NFL in rushing at 167.8 YPG.
Defensively, opposing passing games are averaging 233.2 YPG, good enough for just No. 23 in the game. That should all be helped out this week with the return of DB Darrelle Revis, who missed out on back to back games after pulling a hamstring against Moss when he was with the New England Patriots.
Trying to run the ball on this defense has been virtually impossible this year. The Jets are only giving up 74.8 YPG. The defensive front will get back DE Calvin Pace, who has missed the entire first part of the season after getting injured in the preseason.
The Jets have suddenly covered seven of their last nine games and are rolling towards a second straight spot in the postseason.
This has been a series absolutely dominated by the men in green. The Jets won the last meeting of these squads 26-13 at the Metrodome, marking their fifth straight win both SU and ATS against Minnesota.
The Vikings are still four-point underdogs on the NFL betting lines on Monday night despite the fact that Moss should clearly help out the offensive effort. The 'total' has been set at 39.
