Denver at Minnesota
Saturday 08/14 04:00 PM Eastern
1 unit on Game Total OVER 34.5 -102 (risk 1 to return 1.98) RESULT: WIN
A pair of teams that struggled defensively last season square off here. Denver's defense wasn't as good as expected, #20 in total yards surrendered, #16 in pass defense, and #24 in points allowed. In the first two weeks of their last preseason, the Broncos allowed 22 and 24 points in losses to Seattle and San Francisco. The 2021 offense has a QB battle brewing between Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock with preseason play and points determining the starting job. They face a Minnesota 'D' that was #26 in yards allowed, #24 in pass defense, and #28 in points given up. Coach Mike Zimmer is on a 7-3 run OVER the total in August action. In 2019, the Vikings four preseason totals ended up 59, 44, 29, and 50 points. And Zimmer's last two Week 1 NFLX contests have seen 59 and 70 points, and that 70 was against these Broncos in 2018. Play this game to go OVER the total.
