Justin Jefferson anytime touchdown (+135) and 70+ receiving yards (-160)
Jefferson draws a great matchup, per the PFF Matchup Chart, against a bottom-tier Bills defense that ranks 24th in passing touchdowns allowed and 30th in passing yards allowed per game. He has surpassed 70 receiving yards in six of his seven career games with Carson Wentz under center, making this a great bounce-back opportunity for one of the best receivers in the game.
Khalil Shakir 3+ receptions (-384)
Minnesota’s absurd blitz rate is one of the most well-known tendencies in the NFL at this point. Over the past two seasons, Khalil Shakir has been Josh Allen‘s No. 1 target against the blitz, drawing 51 targets when opponents send an extra rusher.
During that span, Shakir has also been the Bills‘ highest-graded offensive player in those situations. Shakir will be a key part of the Bills‘ counterattack against the Vikings‘ incredible 81% blitz rate.
Buffalo Bills moneyline (-198)
They say defense wins championships, but it won’t win you a game on Monday night. The Bills should handle Brian Flores’ blitz packages, having ranked fourth in EPA per play against the blitz since the start of the 2025 season. The Bills also run the football at the fourth-highest rate in the league, one area where the Vikings’ defense has struggled. Minnesota ranks 27th in yards per carry allowed and 29th in explosive run rate allowed.
