Best bets at FanDuel for Monday Night Football
Vikings +3 (+105)
Justin Jefferson Over 77.5 receiving yards (-113)
Vikings +3 (+105)
This will be a major clash between the league's top scoring offense and its best defense. Buffalo averages an NFL-best 33.3 points per game, while Minnesota's defense yields just 13.3. The Vikings also have a fierce pass rush, posting 25 sacks through seven games, but Buffalo QB Josh Allen is among the best in the league in getting away from pass rushers and gaining yards with his legs. He is nine yards short of 5,000 career rushing yards. The SportsLine model sees this being a close game, with just a one-point margin in favor of Buffalo on its projected final score. The Vikings are covering the spread in 51% of the model simulations and winning outright as underdogs 47% of the time.

Justin Jefferson Over 77.5 receiving yards (-113)
SportsLine expert Alex Selesnick, also known as PropStarz, got this one at 75.5 yards, but this is still a strong play with Carson Wentz under center for Minnesota. Jefferson has been frustrated with the direction of the offense, which could be one reason Kyler Murray will sit out with a sore hamstring. The star receiver has topped 45 receiving yards just once over the past four games. He has 2,581 receiving yards over the past two seasons, so Wentz should be looking his way a lot. The Bills have the third-worst pass defense in the league. The SportsLine props model projects Jefferson for 62 yards and makes this a 3.5-star play, but Selesnick says Wentz starting "is good news for Justin Jefferson, as the pair has shown very good chemistry."
