Vikings +3 (-105) +140

Bengals -3 (-115) -166

Minnesota has benched quarterback Joshua Dobbs and will struggle with Nick Mullens under center this week.
Cincinnati has been good offensively with Jake Browning filling in for Joe Burrow and they should continue to be that way this weekend.

More backup quarterbacks will take center stage in the Vikings vs Bengals contest on Saturday afternoon. Nick Mullens will get his first start of the season for the Vikings in the place of Joshua Dobbs, while Jake Browning will continue to start for the Bengals in the place of the injured Joe Burrow. Expect the Bengals to cover the number at home in this matchup, as Browning has been much better than anticipated since being called into action.
