Overview
- Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network, with local broadcasts in the Minnesota (KMSP) and Cleveland (WEWS) markets and streaming options including Fubo and NFL+.
- Vikings starter J. J. McCarthy is out with a high-ankle sprain, Carson Wentz starts again, and the Browns have benched Joe Flacco for rookie Dillon Gabriel in his first NFL start.
- Minnesota’s offensive line is thinned after placing center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve and listing tackle Brian O’Neill inactive, part of three expected OL absences.
- Sportsbooks list Minnesota around -3.5 with a low total near 36, and SportsLine/CBS models and experts have publicly backed the Vikings to cover in simulations.
- Elsewhere in Week 5, the unbeaten Bills (4-0) host the Patriots on Sunday night, Detroit enters Cincinnati as a double-digit favorite with Aidan Hutchinson spotlighted, and betting previews weigh Miami’s offense after Tyreek Hill’s season-ending knee injury.
