NFL Tips - Bengals @ Vikings

Both the Bengals and Rams have been forced to go with their backup quarterbacks this week but it is the home team that stands out as a quality bet.

The Bengals have seemingly wasted another season with Joe Burrow out for an extended period because Cincinnati refused to invest in a competent offensive line. Zac Taylor will do well to coach another game with Burrow under centre.

The Vikings have struggled through two games of JJ McCarthy, who will need a lot of development. He is hurt this week and that should allow the Vikings to at least go with with a QB unharnessed.

Backup Carson Wentz probably has the edge over Jake Browning but the better coached Vikings will go in with a better game plan.

Veteran QBs on new teams cover at 55.2% while teams off scoring six or fewer cover at 56.3% since 2014.

This is also a spot to take on the Bengals. Cincy are 0-6 ATS all-time on the road in Minnesota while Zac Taylor is 8-22 without Joe Burrow.

Minnesota are a highly confident play.

The under is a very good bet in this one with the under 11-3 when Carson Wentz starts and hitting at 60% when a veteran QB starts for a new team.

Chase Brown is going to be fed. With Burrow at QB Brown still had carry counts of 21 and 16. The Colt are conceding the sixth most rush yards per carry.

Backup Vikings QB Carson Wentz has not really been known as a running quarterback but he can find his way to the end zone. Wentz has 11 touchdowns over his career but notably has scored in two of his last three starts when getting called up as a backup. He is a huge price to score.
