Best Minnesota Vikings prop bets for Week 6

Bet No. 1

• Kirk Cousins under 1.5 touchdown passes (+115)

After throwing eight touchdowns in his first three games of the 2021 season, Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins has only tossed two scores in the team’s last two matchups.

Things aren’t going to get any easier for Cousins this week when he takes on a Carolina defense that has allowed one touchdown pass or less in three of their last four games.

Sunday’s matchup is likely going to be a close, defensive battle, so don’t expect either team’s quarterback to put up big numbers this week.

Bet No. 2

• Justin Jefferson over 74.5 receiving yards (-120)

In his second season with the Vikings, Justin Jefferson has quickly erased any thoughts some might have had about him potentially going through a sophomore slump this year.

Jefferson has finished with at least six catches and 70 receiving yards in four of his five games for Minnesota this season, and last week, he had over 100 receiving yards in just the first half.

The Panthers currently have the top-ranked passing defense in the NFL, but some opposing wide receivers have still been able to find some success during the last few weeks. In four of Carolina’s five games this season, they’ve allowed at least one opposing pass-catcher to finish with at least 69 receiving yards.

With Jefferson playing like one of the top wide receivers in the league this year, one should expect him to end Sunday’s game with at 75 yards or more.
