Bills vs Vikings in Week 9 showdown as Josh Allen chases another touchdown at -120 odds
Both the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings entered their Week 9 game with 6-1 records, but the article focused on the contrast between Buffalo’s high-scoring offence and Minnesota’s strong defence. The writer favoured a Bills win but was uncertain about the spread and total, and backed Josh Allen to score a touchdown.
Allen had thrown 11 passing touchdowns and rushed for nine, the latter placing him second in the NFL, while Buffalo averaged 33 points per game. Minnesota allowed 13.3 points per game, including 116.7 rushing yards and 154.9 passing yards, but averaged 20 points on offence; its quarterbacks had thrown for just under 1,300 yards, with eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
In short
- Both teams were 6-1 going into Week 9.
- Allen had nine rushing touchdowns and 11 passing touchdowns.
- Minnesota’s defence allowed 13.3 points per game.
