Vikings vs Broncos Prediction

After a lackluster performance in the passing game against Buffalo, I’m not expecting Denver to bounce back quickly. This is why I’m leaning towards Minnesota as 2.5-point underdogs.

If you’re looking for a pick on the over/under, the data we have suggests this game finishing below 43.5 points. For this game, my money is on the under.
