Analysis

FanDuel. I'm backing Edmonton at home on Monday with Devon Levi expected to be in goal for the Oilers. Levi returned from injury on Saturday and stopped 20 of 22 shots in Edmonton's win over Vancouver. Levi is now 7-1-0 with a 2.97 GAA this season. Backup Tristan Jarry has also played well this season, so I would still bet Edmonton if he gets the nod over Levi. These two teams just met in New York on Nov. 1, with the Oilers winning 4-1. Edmonton has won five of the last six matchups, and I like that trend to continue at home on Monday.

Spread

Picked: Nov 2 @ 11:13am

Analysis

The Bills' biggest game of the season turned into a clunker with Lamar Jackson hurt on his first snap, and you can't tell much about the defense facing an emergency QB. But the Vikings offense is coming off two uninspiring efforts against questionable defenses, and the unit has managed just six offensive TDs since Week 2. That's not going to cut it against the best scoring offense in the league, even with the best scoring defense on the other side of the ball. The Bills have scored 24+ in every game, 26+ when not turning the ball over five times and 33+ in five of seven games. A good Lions defense got to 19 against Minnesota, and the Bills should reach 20 and cover.

Picked: Nov 4 @ 10:03am

Analysis

I have been a seller of the Vikings all year; the team is one dimensional and built on a defense that creates havoc at an incredible rate under Brian Flores. The O is limited but against the Bills there are avenues to success regardless of who plays QB. This game was priced at Buffalo -2.5 on the lookahead and honestly I came away more impressed with the Vikings fight in DET than I did BUF posting garbage points against a 3rd string BAL QB. Look for the Vikes run defense to be challenged this week in practice and provide a better tackling effort. My lone concern? Christian Darrisaw's sore shoulder along the MIN OL but I wanted us to have the hook in pocket

Analysis

Carson Wentz will be under center on MNF when the Bills take on the Vikings. This is good news for Justin Jefferson as the pair has shown very good chemistry. This is an excellent matchup in what should be a competitive game environment. This number is moving quickly so I would pounce on this ASAP! Tune into the Friday Prop show for additional analysis.

BUF @ MIN • Mon 8:15pm

BUF -3

-114

Spread

Picked: Nov 6 @ 11:00am

Analysis

The Bills vs. Vikings matchup is similar to last week's Lions vs. Vikings one in that it matches up a great offense (Buffalo is 2nd in total offense, 1st in scoring) vs. a great defense (Minnesota is 2nd in total defense and 1st in scoring) and a bad offense vs. a bad defense. And I expect similar results to the Lion's win. Buffalo's defense is also better than the Lions' one that held the Vikings in check. We don't know what the move to Carson Wentz will do for Minnesota's offense, but not sure it matters. Brian Flores' defense blitzes more than anyone in football. Josh Allen has been very effective against the blitz in 2026, particularly by EPA per dropback (2nd in the NFL).
