Vikings vs. Saints Player Prop
In his matchup against the Vikings, Chris Olave has a player prop of 60.5 receiving yards. Presently, the over bet yields a payout of -118, indicating implied odds of 54%. Chris Olave faces off against the Vikings’ secondary with 50 receptions, placing him 9th among receivers. Moreover, he ranks 6th in targets and has accumulated 563 receiving yards. Currently, the Saints offense is one of the NFL’s top units in pass attempts, and the passing game will be a big part of their game plan vs. Vikings. In light of this, I’m taking the over on Olave’s prop of 60.5 yards.
- The Prop: Chris Olave Over 60.5 Receiving Yards (-118)
Vikings VS. Saints Predictions
From the time the lines were first released, New Orleans has transitioned from -1.5 point favorites to their current line of -3 (-109). Conversely, Minnesota is currently +3 (-112) point underdogs at home.
Minnesota is my choice on the spread at +3. I expect the Minnesota rushing attack to take advantage of the New Orleans defense, which struggled to defend the run in their recent game. Don’t miss out on Minnesota at +3.
