Minnesota Vikings +3 (-110)

Jake Browning has done incredible in his limited action this year. He has people thinking the Bengals still have a legit shot at the playoffs. While I was one of the people that bought in last week, I’m fading him this week. Our sample size isn’t large with Browning, so I will go off of what I’ve seen. He came in during the Ravens game and couldn’t hang with the Baltimore defense. Next he played the tough defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers and lost outright (hard to believe the way the Steelers have looked in the past couple of weeks). Then, he shredded the Colts terrible secondary. Now, he’s playing a Vikings team that loves to blitz and he will be under enormous pressure from Brian Flores and his defense. I do not think he will have time and will be truly flustered. Plus, I think that Minnesota gets a boost from starting Nick Mullens. In reality, Mullens isn’t much better than Dobbs but the change should give the team a shot in the arm, as they are still in playoff contention.
