Best prop bets for Minnesota Vikings vs. Baltimore Ravens in Week 9
By Adam Patrick
In a road trip to the east coast, the Minnesota Vikings will be looking to get back on track against a tough Baltimore Ravens team.
When given the opportunity to go up against the Dallas Cowboys without Dak Prescott last week, the Minnesota Vikings should’ve left the field with a victory. However, the Vikings delivered a forgettable performance in their home building that resulted in a loss to the Cowboys and future trivia question answer, Cooper Rush.
This week, Minnesota is taking on the Baltimore Ravens, who will not only have their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, in the lineup, but he’s arguably playing better than any signal-caller in the NFL this season.
Best Minnesota Vikings prop bets for Week 9
Bet No. 1
- Tyler Conklin anytime TD scorer (+400)
During Minnesota’s last two games against the Cowboys and Carolina Panthers, tight end Tyler Conklin has quietly emerged as a favorite target for Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Conklin has been targeted 12 times in Minnesota’s last two matchups and it’s resulted in him catching eight passes for 128 yards.
He hasn’t caught a touchdown since Week 3, but against a Ravens pass defense that is arguably the worst in the NFL this season, there’s a good chance that he could find himself in the end zone on Sunday.
Bet No. 2
- Adam Thielen first TD scorer (+1200)
So far this year, Adam Thielen has caught six touchdowns in seven games. Thielen has found the end zone in each of Minnesota’s last two matchups and there’s a good chance he’ll add another touchdown to his 2021 total on Sunday against a terrible Baltimore pass defense.
Of the six scores the Vikings receiver has hauled in this season, two have been the first touchdowns scored in the game, including last week against Dallas.
If Thielen is going to have a big afternoon on Sunday, he’s likely going to get involved early, and it could potentially result in him being the first person on the field to score a touchdown.
