Cincinnati has the most amount of tickets bet to cover the 3-point spread and the most amount of money wagered as well. That indicates the betting public (ticket count) and professional, or sharp, bettors (money total) both favor the Bengals Saturday.
The Minnesota Vikings enter Sunday's game with star wide receiver Justin Jefferson expected to play after suffering a chest injury in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Journeyman quarterback Nick Mullens also will be starting for the Vikings after taking over for Joshua Dobbs in last week's game. Additionally, the Vikings will be without running back Alexander Mattison.
Cincinnati is currently outside the playoffs, but can stay within a game of a postseason spot or get inside the top-7 AFC postseason teams with a win Sunday, depending on what the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos do this weekend.
