If you thought the Jacksonville Jaguars were synonymous with International Series games, the Minnesota Vikings have been that so far this season. Going from Dublin, Ireland to London, England has them in Europe for two straight games, now playing the Cleveland Browns. It’s another interconference clash, and we’ve got our best Vikings vs. Browns predictions for it. 

Not only is Minnesota the team overseas, but it’s also a state without legal sports betting. However, we’ve got a guaranteed Rebet Social Sportsbook promo code bonus to go along with our Vikings vs. Browns picks (eligible in ALL states but ID, LA, MD, MI, MT and NV)! 

Vikings vs. Browns Predictions for NFL Week 5, Sunday 10/5

Along with this being the second straight international game for the Vikes, it’s also their third straight game against an AFC North opponent. That stretch started against the other Ohio team - the Cincinnati Bengals - which was a 48-10 beatdown.

That same weekend, the Browns pulled off a huge upset over the Green Bay Packers. As for this past weekend, Minnesota had the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland, where they barely fell in an exciting 24-21 game, although the Vikes were never really in control of the matchup. At the very least, Carson Wentz came through for us by throwing a pick!

Of course, that also means that Minnesota was still without pseudo-rookie QB JJ McCarthy, but it’s worth noting before getting too deep into any Vikings vs. Browns predictions - the Michigan product indeed made the trip to Europe with the team.

That’s critical information to have, especially when facing arguably the best defense in the NFL. Cleveland might not have a ton going for them, but having Myles Garrett is always a factor, including locking in our Vikings vs. Browns picks.

 

 

 

Vikings vs. Browns Best Bet: Minnesota -2.5 First Half Spread (-110 at Rebet)

If you immediately thought of a low-scoring game when seeing that these teams were facing off, you aren’t the only one. Not only would we agree with you, but the oddsmakers clearly do as well - the Vikings vs. Browns odds for Week 5 have one of the lowest totals that we’ll see all season at just 36.5 points.

Given that the Browns recently had a 13-10 upset win over the Green Bay Packers (a team that just recently scored 40 points), such a low total certainly makes sense. Paired with their elite defense is a turnover-prone and 40-year-old QB in Joe Flacco; Cleveland is the perfect combination for under bettors. Well, since originally posting this for you, the breaking news of the week is that the Browns have benched Flacco.

If you were keeping up with us before the news, you saw that we loved the combination of Flacco to throw a pick and the Vikings to win the game. Well, that still holds true now that Dillon Gabriel - a rookie QB - is now getting his first career start in London against a very exotic Brian Flores-led defense. Pairing those two picks together when we get lines for Dillon Gabriel should still come with a solid price.

Even still, whether it’s Wentz or JJ McCarthy under center, we still expect Minnesota to also get off to the faster start. Now only is this Dillon Gabriel's first career NFL start, but the Vikings are the team that should be much more settled in given that they will have been in Europe of two weeks.

So, for your Vikings vs. Browns picks, we love Dillon Gabriel to throw a pick + Minnesota ML following a fast start of Minnesota -2.5 in the first half (-110 at Rebet).

Vikings vs. Browns Injury Report & Latest News

The biggest Vikings vs. Browns injury news AND overall news remains the QB position in terms of when JJ McCarthy will be able to return from his high ankle sprain alongside the recent benching of Joe Flacco for rookie Dillon Gabriel. 

Another key piece for Minnesota is great pass rusher Andrew Van Ginkel, and they’re certainly going to want Ryan Kelly and Donovan Jackson healthy, facing this Browns defensive line.

Speaking of Cleveland, the Vikings vs. Browns injury news on their end also starts with the offensive line, with Jack Conklin. We could see a ton of sacks on both sides this Sunday, so be sure to monitor those guys and more with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report!
