Professional Sports Bettor Steve Fezzik - @FezzikSports breaks down the NFL week with his trusted handicapping expertise— and injury intel powered by SIC Health Scores to see which game offers the sharpest betting edge this week.
Betting Analysis: Minnesota Vikings vs. Cleveland Browns (London Game)
The London matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns sets up perfectly for a first-half under. Minnesota’s offensive line is decimated by injuries, leaving them at a massive disadvantage against Cleveland’s defensive front. The left tackle is dealing with an injury, while the center, left guard, and right tackle are all ruled out for Sunday. Protecting the quarterback and creating consistent running lanes will be a major challenge early.
On the other side, Cleveland’s offense has struggled mightily and now turns to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Against a strong Minnesota defense, there is little reason to believe the Browns will find early success moving the ball. Sustained drives could be difficult, and explosive plays are unlikely to materialize in the opening half.
While the possibility of defensive touchdowns or turnovers sparking points exists later in the game, the first half projects to be slow, methodical, and low scoring. With both teams’ offensive limitations and defensive advantages in the trenches, the best way to isolate that edge is by targeting the first-half under.
Betting Pick: Minnesota Vikings - Cleveland Browns Under 17.5 - First Half
