Pretty interesting matchup in Denver on Sunday as the 2-1 Minnesota Vikings take on the undefeated Denver Broncos. This appears to be a real matchup between the league’s top-rated defense in the Broncos against a real balanced Minnesota offense led by Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson. The Vikings were impressive last week in their 31-14 win over the San Diego Chargers and over the past two weeks against the Lions and Chargers, the Vikings run defense has held their opponents to 38 and 90 rushing yards respectively in those two wins. The Broncos are coming off a road win at Detroit as they limited the Lions to just 28 yards rushing in the game. This game is going to become about the quarterbacks and the offense through the air as both teams are going to struggle to run the football. While that has traditionally been a spot to back Manning and the broncos, we’re not convinced that he’s 100% comfortable in Gary Kubiak’s new offense and think Bridgewater and Peterson catching passes out of the backfield could be a tough combination for the Broncos. We’re not sure the Vikings will win this game or not, but we definitely like them to stay inside the number. The Broncos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win and these Vikings are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following an ATS win. Give us Teddy and the Vikings to keep this one close. The Sharps say…
