Action Pouring in on Vikings Early

Dave Mason of BetOnline says that heavy action was coming in on the Minnesota Vikings early for Week 5 NFL action.

There is one caveat however.  Even though 81% of the action was on Minnesota for the London game, which was already in progress as this went to press, cash was close to 50/50.

Aaron Rodgers was listed with a passing yards total of 225.5.  Rodgers completed 24-of-42 attempts for 225 yards in the Jets’ Week 4 loss against the Broncos, adding five rushes for 26 yards.

Mason also reports heavy lopsided betting action on the Buffalo Bills ahead of Sunday. 

Buffalo faces off against Houston as a +1 road dog.

Bills starting quarterback Josh Allen is set to face off against his former star receiver Stefon Diggs for the first time since Diggs left Buffalo.

Allen understands why Buffalo facing Diggs for the first time since a blockbuster trade sent him to Houston this offseason is a big deal. He raved about his former teammate.

“I’ve got a lot of love for him. I still do,” Allen said. “The things that he did for me in my career, and the things that he did in a Buffalo Bill uniform won’t be forgotten anytime soon, especially from me … (but) going into Year 7, I understand the business, and the aspect of what this league is, and again, I’m just trying to focus on what we got going on in this building.”

The next highest bet count after Minnesota is Washington.  That surprising 3-1 team is set to take on the Browns as a -3 home favorite.

Key Matchup

Commanders pass rush vs. the Browns offensive line and Deshaun Watson. As good as Daniels and Washington's offense has been, the defense struggled until last week at Arizona. One of the big issues has been a lack of pressure, which has made a pieced-together secondary struggle more in coverage. Watson has been sacked a league-high 19 times this season, and he needs to get rid of the ball
