TV Broadcast: FOX

Betting on the Minnesota Vikings (-3.0)

Regular Season Record: 4-1

Kirk Cousins passed for 296 yards and a touchdown with an interception on 32/41 completions against the Bears. Running back Dalvin Cook scored two touchdowns to go with 94 rushing yards on 18 carries. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson burned Chicago’s defense for 154 receiving yards on 12 catches and 13 targets. Those three will be so hard to contain for the Dolphins. That being said, it doesn’t feel that Minnesota is even hitting its full stride on offense, which can be terrifying to realize for future opponents of the Vikings.

The Over is 3-0 in the Vikings’ last three games.

Betting on the Miami Dolphins (+3.0)

Regular Season Record: 3-2

Miami is hoping that Tua Tagovailoa will be healthy enough to play in Week 6. If he can’t the Dolphins might turn to third-string QB Skylar Thompson after Teddy Bridgewater also suffered elbow and head injuries in the game against the Jets. Thompson went 19/33 for 166 passing yards (0 TD, 1 INT) in Week 5, but as long as the Dolphins have Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, they can’t be taken for granted by opposing defenses. Running back Raheem Mostert is also heating up after going off for 133 rushing yards and a touchdown versus the Jets. The Bears made the games against Minnesota. If Chicago can push the Vikings to the edge, Miami definitely will have a great shot at making the Vikings sweet in Week 6 at home.

The Dolphins are 4-2 against the spread in their last six games overall.

Writer’s Prediction

The Vikings win, 24-21.
