Steelers vs Vikings Bet Builder Tips
Here's a look at my tips for the Dublin game, which combine to create a Bet Builder with odds of 17/2.
Jordan Mason anytime touchdown
Jordan Mason might not be the most exciting running back in the NFL, but he is good at what he does. The ex-49ers running back was always efficient in San Francisco and now he has got a big chance to do well with the Vikings.
After week two Aaron Jones was put on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and Mason became the main back for Minnesota. Last week saw him take a much-increased workload with 16 rush attempts. He rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns.
He is going up against a better defence this week compared to the Bengals, but he should still see a similar workload. The Vikings offence looked much better with Carson Wentz at quarterback, and it feels like they should have plenty of scoring opportunities.
Justin Jefferson 5+ receptions (Alternate receptions market)
It’s been a slow start this season for one of the best wide receivers in the league. However, much of that is not because of Jefferson himself. Quarterback issues with JJ McCarthy have been the main reason but he has still been a decent threat.
Last week saw him play with Carson Wentz at quarterback after McCarthy got injured in week two. During the game against the Bengals in week three Jefferson had five receptions for 75 yards.
It’s hard to think that Jefferson will be any worse than that in this game now that he has a quarterback who can do more. Five receptions are plausible in this game and so feels like a good addition to the bet.
DK Metcalf anytime touchdown
Metcalf has been solid so far in the first three weeks of the season. He has received 17 targets from his new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He always feels like the first read for Rodgers and has the size and strength to be a good redzone target.
He has already scored two touchdowns this season against some tough defences in the Seahawks and the Patriots. The Vikings defence will be tough to break down, but we have already seen that Rodgers still has a bit of magic left in him. If the touchdown is going anywhere, it is most likely to Metcalf.
Jonnu Smith 3+ receptions (Alternative receptions market)
Jonnu Smith had a great season last year with the Miami Dolphins, but things have been quieter with the Steelers. He is averaging four receptions a game which although good enough for this bet is less than last season.
Despite that he is a reliable target for Aaron Rodgers and will be on the field for most of the time that the offence is. He saw 83% of snaps last week and he has hauled in 12 of his 13 targets so far this season. Its not exciting but it’s a likely winner to add to this bet.
