First look: Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos odds and lines

Kevin Erickson | Staff Writer

The Minnesota Vikings (6-4) and Denver Broncos (4-5) meet for Sunday Night Football in Week 11 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we look at Vikings vs. Broncos odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire's NFL picks and predictions.

The Vikings have rattled off 5 straight victories despite a lot of injuries. The team lost WR Justin Jefferson to a hamstring injury for the past 5 games, although he could be ready as soon as Sunday. The team then lost QB Kirk Cousins to a torn Achilles tendon. And recently, RB Cam Akers went down, also with a torn Achilles tendon, while RB Alexander Mattison exited with concussion last Sunday.

The team signed QB Joshua Dobbs, and he didn't even know some of his teammates' names in Week 9 in Atlanta when he came off the bench for the injured rookie QB Jaren Hall. He excelled, and led the team to a win in relief. Dobbs made his first start in Week 10, and he helped the team top New Orleans at home. Not only has Minnesota won 5 in a row, it has covered 5 straight.

The Broncos started out 1-5 SU and 0-5-1 ATS, and the season looked like it was going to be lost. The team rallied for a 19-17 win in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, and then Denver won 24-9 against the Kansas City Chiefs as a 7-point 'dog. Denver kept it going, upsetting Buffalo on Monday Night Football 24-22, winning outright as a 7.5-point underdog.

The Under has cashed in 4 straight games for Denver, while the Broncos are 3-0 ATS after the cold open.
