Matchup Analysis
A heavyweight Monday night spot
Both teams enter at 6-1, with Minnesota hosting at U.S. Bank Stadium in their first Monday Night Football meeting.
SourceAllen arrives after a strong afternoon
Josh Allen threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns, added a rushing score, and went 13 of 15 in the second half of Buffalo's 36-10 win over Baltimore.
SourceBuffalo's defense made life difficult
The Bills recorded four sacks and forced three turnovers against Baltimore, while a Buffalo defender hit the quarterback's arm three times, forced a fumble and recorded a sack—disruption that could matter against Minnesota's offense.
SourceMinnesota's quarterback status is the key variable
Kyler Murray is questionable with a sore hamstring; Kevin O'Connell said he remains the starter if healthy, but his availability for Monday is unresolved.
SourceThe Vikings can bring pressure
Minnesota's defense had a strong pass-rush showing against Detroit and will look to pressure Allen and keep Buffalo from settling into its passing game.
SourceMonitor Buffalo's receiving availability
D.J. Moore is questionable with a knee issue after returning from a two-game absence, keeping Buffalo's receiver rotation worth monitoring.
SourcePick Ideas
Shop the Bills spread
Shop Buffalo -2.5 rather than laying extra juice at -3; Buffalo has a favorable matchup against Minnesota if it can penetrate the front seven.
Under 46.5 is worth considering
With the total down from 48.5 to 46.5, consider Under 46.5 despite the podcast's view that Buffalo's offense was not at its best; avoid chasing a further drop.
