Minnesota Vikings v Miami Dolphins
NFL: Minnesota Vikings v Miami Dolphins

NFL Best Bets: Can the Minnesota Vikings move to 6-1 on Sunday?

The NFL season has been full of surprises, but perhaps the biggest surprise this season has been the red-hot start of the Minnesota Vikings. Despite an early loss to the undefeated Eagles, Kirk Cousins and the Vikings have been playing very good football. Speaking of the Philadelphia Eagles, they will compete for the Pennsylvania State Championship against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which we don't get to see every season.

If you want three of the best bets for this weekend's slate of NFL action, you're in the right place!

Bet #1: Minnesota Vikings 1H ML (-165)

The Minnesota Vikings have very quietly jumped out to a 5-1 record and are fresh off of a bye-week. This team should come in fresh against an Arizona Cardinals team that hasn't been very consistent. With a few more wins, this team could put themselves in a great position to make the NFL playoffs. The Vikings defense has been surprising this season, as they have performed much better than people expected. They will have their hands full with Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins tomorrow.

Minnesota will lean on Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson in this one, as these two have led the way to this great start. They sit atop the NFC North standings and will look to keep that momentum going. We're taking the Vikings to be lead going into halftime!

Bet #2: Philadelphia Eagles Team Total over 26.5 Points (-125)

The Philadelphia Eagles look to be the most complete football team in the NFL. The offense has avoided turning the ball over and the defense is among the best units in the NFL with talent at every level. They will host the Steelers as 11 point favorites in this contest, which is a great trend for this team total bet. Look for Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders to control the clock on the ground and keep the Steelers offense off the field.

Kenny Pickett is a young quarterback who is still trying to find his way in the league, so Philadelphia's defense could force a few mistakes and take advantage of great field position. Look for the Eagles to get into the 30-point range in tomorrow's game!

Bet #3: Miami Dolphins/Seattle Seahawks Moneyline Parlay (+155)

The Miami Dolphins come off a hard-fought victory against the Steelers and will play the Detroit Lions in week 8. This is one of the most talented offensive units in the NFL and should be able to take advantage of the matchup. Look for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to have great games through the air as they both rank in the top 5 in the NFL in yards. The Dolphins should have no problems winning this game.

The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season. Geno Smith has played extremely well and this offense is performing beyond expectations. They will play the New York Giants who are 6-1 so far, but are due for regression. This is a perfect spot for the Seahawks to put the 2nd loss on the Giants' record.
