The Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns are set to face off in London this Sunday, but fans expecting fireworks may want to temper their expectations.
Vegas oddsmakers have set the over/under at 36.5 points, the lowest total for any NFL game in the 2025 season. That’s even lower than the 38-point total from Week 1’s Steelers-Jets matchup — which ended in a shocking 34-32 shootout.
The quarterback matchup features Carson Wentz leading the Vikings and Dillon Gabriel, the rookie QB expected to make his first NFL start for Cleveland. Gabriel replaces Joe Flacco, whose 2025 Browns offense ranks 31st in scoring — averaging just 14 points per game.
While Gabriel brings mobility and potential playmaking ability, expectations are low for a sudden offensive turnaround. The Browns’ strength remains their elite defense, which is likely to keep the game close, ugly, and low-scoring.
International games are historically lower-scoring affairs, and this matchup seems to fit that trend perfectly. With two struggling offenses, backup-level quarterbacks, and stout defenses, bettors are lining up on the UNDER 36.5.
🧠 What to Watch For:
-
Dillon Gabriel’s NFL debut: Can he energize a lifeless Browns offense?
-
Carson Wentz’s consistency: Will the veteran stabilize Minnesota?
-
Defensive dominance: Expect turnovers, field goals, and field position battles.
📉 Betting Trends:
-
Over/Under: 36.5 (Lowest of 2025 NFL season)
-
Browns average points per game: 14 (31st in NFL)
-
Vikings QB uncertainty with Wentz at the helm
