Broncos vs. Vikings Player Prop
Javonte Williams comes in with a rushing yards prop of 66.5 for this week’s game. Betting the over offers a payout of -118, which translates to implied odds of 54%, while the under pays out at -114 (53%). Javonte Williams is currently 17th among running backs in rushing attempts this season, accumulating 436 yards so far. As he enters this week’s game, his average yards per carry stands at 3. Considering Williams is facing the league’s 10th-ranked rush defense, I’m going to go with the under on Javonte Williams’s prop of 66.5 rushing yards.
- The Prop: Javonte Williams Under 66.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Broncos VS. Vikings Predictions
Starting as 2.5 point favorites at home, Denver has seen the lines shift to -2.
Minnesota is my choice on the spread at +2. I expect the Minnesota rushing attack to take advantage of the Denver defense, which struggled to defend the run in their recent game. Don’t miss out on Minnesota at +2.
