While the Vikings will be down Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook now is trending toward playing (see news feed). Pittsburgh is pretty healthy on offense and missing top cornerback Joe Haden. If this total was 44, I probably wouldn't bother but at 43.5 I'm going to take the plunge as a 24-20 final score seems very possible. The Over has hit in three straight Vikings games and there have been at least 56 combined points scored in each. Pittsburgh has allowed 41 points in each of its past two on the road.

The Steelers are coming off a big divisional win, while the Vikings became the first team this year to lose to the Lions. That was enough to bump this down a full point from the lookahead. But Pittsburgh's offense couldn't find much success until late, exploiting the injury to Marlon Humphrey in the secondary. The Vikings defense completely fell apart on the last drive vs. Detroit, and while they haven't been playing well of late, Pittsburgh isn't really gaining a bunch of yards on offense even when scoring points. With Kirk Cousins playing well, I trust the Minnesota offense to score here; will Ben Roethlisberger be able to keep up? This line should be north of 3, so I'll lay -120 on this number.
