Prediction Summary

Buffalo should be the more reliable side overall, but the best value on the board is the game staying below the total. The Bills have the better offense, yet Minnesota’s defense is strong enough to keep the pace controlled, and the Vikings’ season-long scoring profile points strongly away from a high-total game. With Buffalo projected to win 24-20, the final result fits a moderate-scoring script that gives the Bills the edge while keeping the combined score below the market number.
