Why My Week 3 Vikings Over Bengals Bet Could Blow Up in Unexpected Ways

I was in the middle of writing a pro-Minnesota Vikings (1-1) handicap for their Week 3 home game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) when news broke that Minnesota’s first-year starting QB J.J. McCarthy would miss this game with an injury. The Vikings opened as -4.5 favorites at DraftKings after their 22-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. 

DraftKings released that spread, knowing Cincy second-string QB Jake Browning will replace Joe Burrow, who will be out for the next few months with turf toe. Yet, Minnesota’s spread has fallen to -3 across the board since announcing backup QB Carson Wentz would fill in for McCarthy. This is too big a line move based on various reasons I’ll discuss below.
