Bookies.com: Bet the Vikings to cover vs. Dolphins

Bill Speros writes: "The Vikings pillaged Northern Europe. This week, they get a shot at South Beach. The Dolphins lost Tua Tagovailoa to a pair of head injuries that forced the NFL and NFLPA to upgrade their concussion protocols. Teddy Bridgewater, who holds the best career record ATS of any QB with more than 20 starts since the AFL/NFL merger, got knocked out in Sunday's loss at MetLife. That allowed Skylar Thompson to make his NFL debut. While the Dolphins face serious questions on both sides of the ball, the Vikings are rampaging. Minnesota (4-1) leads the NFC North and has averaged 28.3 points in their past three games."

Draft Kings: Take the Vikings to cover vs. Dolphins

It writes: "The Dolphins are entering this matchup at a serious injury disadvantage, the playing status of Tyreek Hill also remains in question after he was seen in a walking boot following the Week 5 loss. If Miami is forced to start rookie Skylar Thompson once more this week, then Minnesota has the clear advantage under center and should be considered the favorites. Roll with the healthier team in the Vikings to cover in this one."

Fan Duel: Go with the Vikings on the moneyline vs. Dolphins

Larry Rupp writes: "This one could come down to the wire, according to the opening betting lines. ESPN's FPI sides with the Dolphins, but I find myself siding with the road team here. Yes, the wide receiver duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle should scare any defense. However, so should the wide receiver duo of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. The real advantage the Vikings have is at quarterback. Kirk Cousins' experience greatly outweighs that of Teddy Bridgewater and that's what will make the difference in Week 6."
