Cincinnati at Minnesota

Jake Browning will replace Joe Burrow, who is out indefinitely with a turf toe injury. Browning rallied the Bengals to a 31-27 victory over Jacksonville with 241 yards passing and two TDs, and he scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard sneak with 18 seconds left. He went 4-3 as a starter in 2023. Browning has good targets in Ja'Marr Chase, who had 14 catches for 165 yards and a TD against the Jaguars. Tee Higgins caught three passes for 56 yards. Cincinnati has won seven in a row dating to last season, and it has covered four of five after scoring more than 30 points in its previous game. Minnesota will also start a backup quarterback, although it might be an improvement from J.J. McCarthy's performance so far. McCarthy has had one good quarter and is now out with an ankle injury. Carson Wentz hasn't been a starter since 2022 with Washington, and he will be playing behind a decimated offensive line for Minnesota. The Vikings have gone UNDER five straight against the AFC, and Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Falcons stayed UNDER by 16.5 points. Minnesota totaled just 198 yards of offense. Take the Bengals and the UNDER.
