It is, once again, time for us to take a look at what our friends from the FanDuel Sportsbook are putting out there for prop bets for this week’s Minnesota Vikings game and see if we can’t help those of you who like to add to your excitement. . .or anxiety. . .on Sunday afternoons by putting some of your hard-earned money on the game.
Now, I do this with the understanding that yours truly has not exactly done a bang-up job with these predictions to this point in the season so far. I’m not exactly known for my gambling prowess. . .those of you who have been following my game picks each week have probably figured that out on your own already. But, I’m going to endeavor to do better going forward, so here’s to hoping.

That and I’ve been a bit under the weather for the better part of this week, so maybe this can be my “Jordan flu game” of predictions or something along those lines. Stranger things have happened, I guess. But enough of my babbling. Let’s get to it, shall we?
Justin Jefferson Receiving Yardage: Over 72.5 yards (-114)
Yeah, I’m going back to what should be a “gimme” for the first one. Sauce Gardner isn’t going to be in the lineup for the Colts on Sunday, and their defense is generating just about no pass rush to speak of, so the opportunity for chunk plays should be there for the Minnesota offense. Jefferson is going to make some plays in this one now that he’s back to full strength after his ankle issues before the bye week, and he’ll be happy to get back in front of the home crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Jauan Jennings Receptions: Over 0.5 (-230)

Yes, this is actually a bet that you can currently place. Here’s visual proof, lest you think I’m making that up.
Jennings has been the subject of trade rumors recently, and to say that his 2026 season has been disappointing thus far would be a pretty massive understatement. But he has to get off the milk carton at some point, and this week feels like as good a week as any. I think he gets a catch this week. Heck, he might even get two catches. Dare we dream?
Parlay Bet: Vikings -6.5 and total points under 41.5 (+244)
The “under” seems to be the smart play for most Vikings games this season. Yes, we know that the purple haven’t been scoring a lot of points, but their opponents don’t harbor much hope of scoring points either, and I don’t see the Colts getting on the board all that frequently on Sunday afternoon. Daniel Jones hasn’t been all that great this season, and without Tyler Warren in the lineup, he’s not going to have that quick outlet to turn to on a regular basis. Brian Flores is going to make sure that Mr. Jones has quite a miserable afternoon, I reckon.
Those are the prop bets that I’m looking at for this
