Predictions and Betting Preview for the Minnesota Vikings vs Denver Broncos NFL Preseason Week 3 Game on August 27, 2022
- Where: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado.
- When: Saturday, August 27, 9:00 PM ET
Betting on the Minnesota Vikings
- Record: 0-2-0
- Spread: +2.5
- Moneyline: -118
- Over/Under: 38.5
The Minnesota Vikings will take the field at Empower Field at Mile High, hoping to turning the tide against a disastrous preseason so far,with the team being unable to beat the Raiders in Week 1, losing 26-20, and at home when hosting the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2that time by a score of 17-7.
This will require Minnesota to begin to have more control in the games if they want to take their fate into their own hands. Those first two games did not see them being able to exceed 26:00 minutes of possession, with the last one against the 49ers seeing them have just 22:15 minutes and being unable to surpass 200 total yards.
Betting on the Denver Broncos
- Record: 1-1-0
- Spread: -2.5
- Moneyline: -105
- Over/Under: 38.5
The Broncos have fared better this preseason if we look purely at the record, as their only defeat so far was a rather resounding one:the Bills’ 42-15 drubbing in Week 2 wiped any smiles off their faces after a 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.
Beyond this, it’s important to point out that the Broncos’ victory was achieved precisely at home.Despite having less possession, they managed to show a decent defense by allowing only 175 total yards, and another defensive performance of similar quality could be enough for them to finish the preseason on a high note.
JefeBet Prediction
The Vikings’ offense hasn’t shown much of their weapons this preseason, and this trip to Denver might put them to the test, especially since they’ll be facing a defense that won’t let them breathe if Denver can repeat what they did against Dallas in Week 1.
However, with the Broncos being unable to surpass 20 points so far, we think this could turn out to be a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Under 38.5
