CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Buffalo Bills (6-1) and Minnesota Vikings (6-1) face off Monday Night in Week 9, with the Bills favored by three points; a loss would hurt the Vikings more, potentially dropping them into a tie for second in the NFC North.
- Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is out with a hamstring injury, and backup Carson Wentz will start, raising questions about Minnesota's offensive performance against Buffalo's defense.
- The game total is set at 44.5 points, with a lean toward the over due to Josh Allen's scoring ability and the Vikings' potential for explosive plays despite Wentz's presence.
- Player prop bets highlight Justin Jefferson to exceed 76.5 receiving yards, given his strong connection with Wentz, and Bills' Ty Johnson to surpass 14.5 receiving yards as a key passing option out of the backfield.
- Anytime touchdown bets favor tight ends Dalton Kincaid of the Bills and T.J. Hockenson of the Vikings, both expected to see increased red zone targets in this primetime matchup.
