Cincinnati Bengals vs. Minnesota Vikings Best Bet

Just when you thought it was time to write off the Bengals again in wake of Joe Burrow's injury, here comes Jake Browning to save the day. The third-year man out of Washington cooked up something special against the Jaguars last week, completing 21 of 32 for 241 yards and two touchdowns.

It was a pretty magical ending for Browning, who led the Bengals on a 15-play, 92-yard drive to win the game, but that sugar-coated what was ultimately a bad day at the office for Browning.

He threw three interceptions, including one on the previous drive, and prior to that had watched his offense stall aside from one explosive play to Tee Higgins.

Now, the Vikings may not be dominating in the secondary in a vacuum, but they did limit an explosive Falcons passing attack to just 135 yards on 21 attempts last week and shored things up in the second half of their opener against the Bears.

Minnesota also struggled against Atlanta's layered rushing attack, but that won't be a concern here with Cincinnati's backfield continuing to give it nothing.

There's enough mounting evidence here to take the Vikings without even mentioning the name Carson Wentz, who I expect to survive against a weak pass rush and get the ball into the hands of his talented skill guys.
