Best Player Prop Bets and Predictions for Bills vs. Vikings
Two of the best teams in the NFL this season go toe-to-toe in primetime, so make sure to check out the available football betting markets at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook for this matchup. If you need some inspiration, we’ve picked out two of the best player prop bets for Bills vs. Vikings in our Monday Night Football predictions below, using insights and trends from the Stats Hub to support each pick:
Carson Wentz Over 214.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Carson Wentz will be making his second start of the 2026-27 NFL season Monday night and third appearance overall, with Vikings starting quarterback Kyler Murray ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Wentz entered the Vikings’ Week 1 win over Green Bay when Murray left the game with a concussion and helped lead Minnesota to a 39-22 comeback victory. He also started Week 2 in a 9-3 win over Chicago while Murray remained sidelined.
Wentz completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the comeback win against Green Bay. Although he threw for just 143 yards without a touchdown in Week 2, he protected the football and helped the Vikings start the season 2-0.
The former second overall pick has plenty of NFL experience and enjoyed significant success with Philadelphia, particularly during the 2017 season when he earned Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors while finishing third in MVP voting. Wentz, of course, suffered a season-ending knee injury toward the end of that season, and Philadelphia went on to win Super Bowl LII with backup quarterback Nick Foles.
The Stats Hub notes that Wentz has recorded 211 or more passing yards in each of his last 12 appearances with his team as a home underdog, as the Vikings are Monday night against the Bills. He’s already had some success this year and is set to face a Buffalo defense that ranks among the NFL’s worst against the pass this season.
- Carson Wentz Over 214.5 Passing Yards (-115)
James Cook III Anytime Touchdown (-110)
James Cook III was the NFL’s leading rusher in 2025 and ranked among the league leaders with 14 total touchdowns. He enters Monday night with the fifth-most rushing yards this season and has seven rushing touchdowns through seven games.
The Stats Hub notes that Cook has scored at least one touchdown in each of the Bills’ last six games. While that’s encouraging, there’s always the possibility of Bills quarterback Josh Allen taking away touchdown opportunities from Cook. Allen’s nine rushing touchdowns in 2026 are tied for the second most in the NFL, one year after his 14 rushing touchdowns ranked third in the league behind only Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor.
Minnesota’s defense is one of the best in the league across the board this year, allowing the second-fewest total yards per game (271.6) and the fewest points per game (13.3). Allen is one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, but he’s set to face a Minnesota defense that is also allowing the fewest net passing yards per game (154.9).
That means Cook and Allen may have to get things done with their legs Monday night to secure a road win at U.S. Bank Stadium. However, it’s worth mentioning that Bills starting offensive linemen Alec Anderson and Dion Dawkins are both listed as questionable for Monday Night Football.

Bills vs. Vikings Preview for MNF
A pair of one-loss teams currently leading their respective divisions will battle it out on Monday Night Football in an AFC vs. NFC showdown to conclude Week 9. The AFC East-leading Bills will look to go into enemy territory and take advantage of the fact that the NFC North-leading Vikings will be playing with their backup quarterback.
We already mentioned that veteran quarterback Carson Wentz will be starting in place of the injured Kyler Murray on Monday night. Wentz has already seen meaningful game action this year and helped the Vikings win two games, so this isn’t a typical backup with little experience that the Bills are about to face.
Wentz helped the Vikings start the season 2-0, and Murray kept the winning going, leading Minnesota to four more victories for an undefeated 6-0 record. Unfortunately for the Vikings, that streak ended in a 19-15 Week 8 road loss to division rival Detroit, during which Murray suffered the hamstring injury that will keep him out Monday night.
The Vikings now return home but are going up against a Bills offense averaging the most total yards (393.1) and points per game (33.3) in the NFL this season. Much of that success has come from James Cook III and Josh Allen in the run game, but Allen is also a dangerous passer.
The Bills started the year 3-0 before suffering a 29-26 Week 4 loss to New England but have since won three consecutive games to get back on track. Buffalo is averaging 35.3 points per game over its last three wins but has also allowed 24.7 points per contest during that stretch. That includes back-to-back three-point victories, first against the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in Week 5 and then against Las Vegas in Week 6.
Buffalo’s most recent win was a 36-10 victory over Baltimore in Week 8, during which the Ravens lost starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley to injuries. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano played most of the game for Baltimore as a result, and the Bills’ defense did a nice job against him, limiting him to just 91 passing yards while also holding star running back Derrick Henry to 53 rushing yards.
Allen and the Bills’ high-powered offense will face a tough matchup against this stout Vikings defense, but something has to give, so you won’t want to miss Monday Night Football.
