The Vikings are coming off a 27-19 victory against New Orleans, while Denver (4-5) edged Buffalo 24-22 on the road last week for its third straight win.

Kickoff from Empower Field is set for 8:20 p.m. ET.

Why the Broncos can cover

Denver is vying for its third straight victory against a team that recorded 13 or more wins last season after edging the Bills 24-22 in Buffalo on Monday Night Football last week. It was the second consecutive triumph as at least a seven-point underdog for Denver, which defeated defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City, 24-9, in Week 8. Wideout Courtland Sutton hauled in a touchdown pass for the fourth game in a row and is tied for second in the NFL with a career-high seven scoring receptions.

The 28-year-old Sutton, a second-round pick out of SMU in the 2018 NFL Draft, leads Denver with 41 catches and 433 receiving yards. Russell Wilson has 18 touchdown passes in his first nine games of 2023 after recording only 16 in his first season with the Broncos last year. The 34-year-old has gone without an interception in five of his last six contests and has thrown only four all season. See which team to pick here.

Why the Vikings can cover

Minnesota’s winning streak is especially impressive when you consider how many injuries the team has endured. Star receiver Justin Jefferson has missed all five games with a hamstring issue, quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 8 that ended his season, and wideout K.J. Osborn sat out last week with a concussion. Now, leading rusher Alexander Mattison could miss Sunday’s contest with an identical head injury, and tight end T.J. Hockenson is questionable with injured ribs.

Running back Ty Chandler stepped up against the Saints last week, rushing for a career-high 45 yards and a touchdown. Joshua Dobbs has been sensational since replacing injured rookie Jaren Hall, throwing for 426 yards and three TDs while running for 110 and two scores in two games since being acquired from Arizona. The 28-year-old journeyman is just the fourth player in NFL history to record both a passing and rushing touchdown while leading his team to victory in each of his first two games with a franchise. Dobbs could have Osborn back in the lineup and will look often in the direction of rookie Jordan Addison, who is second on the team with 603 receiving yards and first with seven TD catches. See which team to pick here.
