Arizona Republican holds House seat, surviving re-election scare
Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., narrowly won re-election to a second term, defeating Democratic challenger Jonathan Nez in a tight rematch, The Associated Press projected Monday.
Crane, a former Navy SEAL combat veteran, previously defeated Nez, a former president of the Navajo Nation, in the 2024 general election.
Crane and Nez were separated by 3,834 votes at the time of the AP race call. The Fox News Power Rankings had rated the seat Likely R in the lead-up to Election Day.
Nez has not yet conceded the race. His most recent social media post, from Nov. 5, said that counting every ballot "takes time" in the large district.
In a post on X, Crane thanked rural Arizonans and his staff while praising Nez for stepping into the arena again.
"I'm going to keep fighting against the status quo in Congress," Crane wrote. "Both parties have been driving this country into the ground for decades, and the American people are sick of it."
TRUMP TORCHES DEMOCRATS AT ARIZONA RALLY, WARNS THEY WILL ‘DESTROY OUR COUNTRY’ AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
Crane was backed by President Donald Trump, who endorsed the GOP lawmaker as an "America First Patriot."
At the same time, Trump targeted Nez, labeling him a "Radical Left Democrat" who opposes eliminating taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security.
DEMOCRATS ARE CHANGING THEIR TRANSGENDER MESSAGE. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’RE JUST FLIP-FLOPPING
"He wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilation of your Children. Jonathan Nez is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous!" Trump wrote.
Crane noted that he will stand in the way of anyone "trying to move this country in the wrong direction."
Spanish soccer star's girlfriend reveals her herpes flare up like it's no big deal - the Internet explodes
File this one under things you probably don't want your girlfriend posting on social media.
Ines Garcia, the girlfriend of Lamine Yamal, the 19-year-old Spanish superstar soccer player who won the World Cup over the summer, raised some eyebrows on social media over the weekend when she announced that she's dealing with a herpes outbreak. Not only did she announce it, Ines went the extra step to show a cream around her nostrils.
"It had been so long since I last had a herpes outbreak… Do you remember a year ago?? I used to get at least one every month… 😢," Ines, 21, wrote on Instagram Story to her five million followers. "Yesterday, I woke up with one on my nose, and this is what I’ve looked like 24 hours a day since then."
How did the Internet react to this revelation? About how you'd expect. Guys don't want to hear about your herp outbreaks. "I just feel for Lamine Yamal, and instead of protecting his privacy, you’re practically handing people ammunition to ridicule him," content creator Dapsy wrote on X.

New AI malware ranks victims by how much they're worth
You probably know that hackers want your passwords, credit card information and other personal details. But what if they could also figure out how much you're worth to them? That's exactly what researchers say a newly discovered malware strain is designed to do. It steals information from your computer, studies your digital life and then uses artificial intelligence to build a detailed profile of you. The goal? Help criminals decide which victims deserve more attention and which stolen accounts could bring in the most money.
The malware is called VOLTA-AUTODOXER, and researchers at Cisco Talos uncovered it through a cybersecurity research project focused on AI-powered threats. What caught my attention is how it can take everyday details about your life and turn them into something criminals could use against you. Even a food delivery receipt could help reveal where you live. Here's how this malware works, what it could reveal about you and the steps you can take to protect yourself.

WINDOWS MALWARE USES GROK AI TO HELP STAY HIDDEN, RESEARCHERS SAY
Most information-stealing malware follows a familiar pattern. It gets onto your computer, collects whatever sensitive information it can find and sends that data back to criminals. VOLTA-AUTODOXER takes that process further by using AI to evaluate the information after collecting it. According to Cisco Talos, the Windows malware can steal saved browser passwords, payment card information and login sessions. It also targets cryptocurrency wallets and certain work-related credentials. Once it collects that information, it builds a detailed report about the person using the computer.
That report can include your location, employer and clues about your age. The malware can also collect saved Wi-Fi passwords, screenshots and information from applications such as Microsoft Outlook and Slack. Researchers even found that it attempts to crack cryptocurrency wallet vaults. Then comes the AI component. The malware sends the information to an AI model through a platform called OpenRouter. The model receives instructions to act like an intelligence analyst and determine which stolen information could be the most valuable.
Think about that for a moment. Instead of a criminal manually reviewing hundreds of stolen accounts, AI can help sort through the information and identify potentially profitable targets. And the AI analysis is optional. Even if that part fails or cannot run, the malware can still collect information and send it to the attacker.
Here's where this gets especially personal. VOLTA-AUTODOXER can search for clues about your home address, employer and financial information. Researchers found that it can also use stolen account access to examine Gmail receipts and food delivery orders. For example, the malware looks for purchase information from services such as Uber Eats and DoorDash. It can also examine receipts from Amazon and other retailers. Those records may help confirm where you live.
And it goes further. Using stolen login sessions, the malware can retrieve order histories directly from Uber Eats and DoorDash. It can also search Gmail for receipts from Grubhub, Walmart and PayPal. That gives criminals another way to connect your online activity to your actual identity.
The information goes well beyond your address. The malware can collect clues about your age, workplace and online accounts. It can even look at Roblox accounts to estimate the value of virtual items. Individually, some of these details might seem harmless. But when AI combines them, criminals could develop a much clearer understanding of your personal and financial life.
The most concerning part of VOLTA-AUTODOXER comes after the information has been collected. The malware asks AI to create a report that ranks the victim's assets according to their potential value. Researchers found that the instructions include a section called "WHAT THEY'RE WORTH." The AI is asked to identify valuable information and assign low, medium or high rankings.
Another section called "THEIR OPSEC" examines the victim's security habits, including password practices. In other words, the malware is designed to help criminals understand what they might gain and how well someone has protected their accounts. Cisco Talos found that the malware uses Anthropic's Claude as its default AI model. If the model refuses the request, the malware can try Moonshot AI's Kimi K2 and Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash.
That fallback system is especially revealing. Whoever developed the malware anticipated that an AI model might refuse to help and built a way to try another model. The malware can also send the resulting assessment to criminals through Telegram. That means an attacker could potentially receive an organized report without having to study all the stolen information personally. There's an important point here. Researchers identified these capabilities by analyzing the malware's code. They have not established that criminals have successfully used these AI-generated rankings to select real-world victims for additional attacks.
AI-POWERED CYBERATTACKS FUEL 'BLACK OCTOBER' FEARS
Another concerning capability is VOLTA-AUTODOXER's ability to remove its main executable after completing its work. That could make an infection harder to investigate. However, Cisco Talos found that the malware may leave behind a diagnostic file called volta_debug.txt. That file can contain a record of what the malware collected and whether the AI analysis succeeded. For security investigators, it could provide valuable clues about what happened.
There's another detail worth knowing. The malware uses the infected computer's own internet connection to contact the AI service. Researchers also found that its observed network destinations belong to third-party services rather than infrastructure owned by the attacker. That could make suspicious activity less obvious, although it does not guarantee the malware will escape detection.
Researchers also found evidence suggesting the malware was designed as a customizable product. Its developer appears to have created a system where different criminals could supply their own settings and receive a customized version. Cisco Talos believes this could make AI-powered victim profiling available to criminals who lack advanced technical skills. However, researchers have not confirmed that the malware is being sold.
There are some important unanswered questions. Cisco Talos first observed the analyzed sample on October 11, 2026, but researchers have not established how many computers VOLTA-AUTODOXER has infected or how widely it has spread. They also have not confirmed a specific campaign distributing this malware.
That means there's no evidence in the published findings that this malware is currently infecting large numbers of everyday computer users. Still, its capabilities show how criminals could use AI to get more value from information they already know how to steal. And for now, there's no confirmed method of distribution for VOLTA-AUTODOXER. That's why it's important to focus on protecting your computer against information-stealing malware in general rather than assuming this particular threat arrives through a specific type of message or download.
You don't need to understand how AI works to reduce your risk. VOLTA-AUTODOXER still needs access to your computer before it can collect sensitive information. That means many of the same precautions that protect against traditional malware can help here, too. Here are some practical steps worth taking.
One of the best ways to protect yourself is to have strong antivirus software running on your devices. Good security software can help detect malicious downloads, suspicious programs and other threats before they steal your information. Keep your protection updated and run regular scans. Look for software that monitors suspicious behavior in addition to scanning for known threats. That's especially helpful when dealing with malware designed to hide its activity or delete itself after an attack. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.
VOLTA-AUTODOXER specifically targets credentials stored in web browsers. Consider using a reputable password manager that protects your passwords in an encrypted vault instead. Create a strong, unique password for every important account. That way, one stolen password won't automatically give criminals access to other services. However, a password manager alone cannot guarantee protection if your computer has already been compromised. Some malware can steal active login sessions or capture sensitive information while you're using it.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your email, financial accounts and other important services. Whenever possible, use passkeys or a hardware security key. However, remember that some information-stealing malware can steal active login sessions. That means 2FA alone may not stop every account takeover. If you suspect an infection, sign out of existing sessions after securing your device.
Install Windows security updates and keep your browser current. Updates can close vulnerabilities that attackers exploit to install malware. Also, avoid downloading software from unfamiliar websites. Be especially cautious about unexpected attachments or messages urging you to install something immediately. And never copy commands into Windows PowerShell, Command Prompt or the Run dialog because a random website tells you to fix a problem. Criminals have used these tactics to trick people into installing other information-stealing malware.
HACKERS HIDE DANGEROUS FAKE AI DOWNLOADS BEHIND GOOGLE ADS
VOLTA-AUTODOXER shows how seemingly unrelated personal details can help criminals build a profile of you. Consider using a personal data removal service to reduce the information that data brokers publish about you. These services cannot erase information already stolen from your computer. However, they can help reduce the amount of personal information available through public data broker listings. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting CyberGuy.com.
Because this malware collects financial and identifying information, consider using an identity theft protection service. Such services can monitor for certain signs of misuse and alert you to suspicious activity. You should also review your financial statements and credit reports regularly. If criminals gain access to your information, early detection could help limit the damage. You can also place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. That can help prevent criminals from opening new credit accounts in your name, even if they've stolen personal information. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com.
VOLTA-AUTODOXER can also target information connected to your workplace. That includes certain Microsoft account tokens, cloud credentials and Slack workspace details. If you use your computer for work, avoid storing sensitive access keys in unprotected files. Follow your company's security policies and report suspicious activity to your IT department immediately. Cisco Talos also identified a technique that attempts to bypass Chrome's App-Bound Encryption protection. Organizations can reduce that risk by controlling which programs can launch Chrome in headless mode. That is a more technical safeguard your IT or security team can evaluate.
If you suspect malware has stolen your information, act quickly.
Most importantly, don't assume you're safe because the suspicious program has disappeared. This malware can delete itself after stealing your information, and the stolen credentials may still be usable by criminals.
What concerns me most about VOLTA-AUTODOXER is how much someone could learn about you just by getting into your computer. Think about what's sitting on your device right now. Maybe you've saved a few passwords in your browser. Your email probably contains years of receipts, including orders delivered right to your front door. Now, consider what happens when a criminal feeds all that information into AI and asks one simple question: How much is this person worth? That's what caught my attention about this research. The malware is designed to do the homework for the criminal and help identify which stolen information deserves the most attention. We still don't know how widely VOLTA-AUTODOXER has spread, so there's no reason to assume your computer has been targeted. But I do think this gives us a pretty good idea of where cybercrime could be heading. The less work criminals have to do themselves, the easier it could become for them to target more people. And that's one more reason to take your personal information seriously before someone gets hold of it.-
How would you feel knowing that hackers could use AI to put a dollar value on your personal information? And do you think AI companies should do more to prevent criminals from using their technology this way? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

White House doubles down after Trump angers base by floating illegal alien deal with Dems
The White House on Monday morning wouldn't rule out the administration working with Democrats on a "deal" for illegal immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for more than a decade as Republicans prepare to lose control of Congress in January.
President Donald Trump, in his first sit-down interview since sweeping GOP midterm losses, opened the door to the possibility of considering amnesty.
"The President never said the word amnesty," a White House official insisted to Fox News Digital.
"We want Democrats to show their cards," the official revealed.
TRUMP ADMITS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT MAY HAVE BEEN TOO 'TOUGH' IN FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE MIDTERMS
They said, "There has never been a President stronger on immigration enforcement than President Trump."
"Thanks to his efforts more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. and we have the most secure border in American history. Like the President has said, he’s willing to work with anyone to improve the lives of Americans and Make America Safe Again."
In a "60 Minutes" interview that aired on Sunday, host Ross Douthat asked Trump how he is open to working with Democrats on immigration as he enters a lame-duck final stretch of his presidency.
"I'd love to do something on immigration," the president replied. "I think [immigration] both helped and hurt. I think I got an A+ for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out, but I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation or breaking of the law — that was that they came into the country illegally."
Trump, however, maintained that there are people in the United States who want to see all illegal aliens deported.
FOX NEWS POLL: MAJORITY SAYS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT HAS CROSSED THE LINE
But, Trump said, "if they're good people working in a landscaping company or working in a hotel, or doing something, right? And in some cases paying taxes, and there's a large group of people that think they should be allowed to stay."
"When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that's working there as a maid, as a cleaner as a this as a that, as a waitress, a lot of good things, great jobs, and all of a sudden they're being taken out of the country, it's tough. It's a tough thing," he said, adding that people who he called "far-right" want deportations regardless of whether the illegal alien is working.
While Trump didn't say "amnesty," as the White House noted, he signaled in the interview his willingness to "work a deal" for people who have been in the United States illegally for "10 and 15 years" who haven't committed other crimes.
Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., a longtime proponent of giving legal status to illegal aliens, celebrated Trump's comments on X.
"Well done, Mr. President! What you described on 60 Minutes is what the Dignity Act is all about," she said in the post.
Salazar's Dignity Act would offer legal status to people who have been in the United States continuously since 2020, provided they haven't committed other crimes and pay a restitution fee and back taxes.
The White House wouldn't clarify what such a deal could entail when asked Monday.
Notably, the interview was taped before Stephen Miller, a notorious immigration hawk, was selected to be Trump's new chief of staff.
Immigration restrictionism has been Trump's calling card since he first ran for president beginning in 2015. His comments in the interview that aired Sunday drew a sharp reaction from those favor immigration restriction.
TED CRUZ SAYS 'BLUE TSUNAMI' TOOK OVER TEXAS AFTER DEMOCRATS SWEPT STATEWIDE RACES
"To be clear, if President Trump struck an amnesty deal with the Democrat-controlled Congress, it would be a bigger betrayal than starting the foolish war in Iran," commentator Steve Cortes said on X, adding a clip of Trump promising "the largest deportation operation in the history of our country" during a campaign rally in 2024.
"This plan absolutely guarantees that Texas never again votes Republican," said radio show host Anthony Cumia. "More states will turn permanently blue if illegals are given amnesty. Regan did the same this and California became a forever democrat state. Trump can do the same to Texas. Disgusting."
"Someone needs to tell Trump: Any amnesty deal with Democrats will destroy the Republican Party," said X personality Kelly McCarty. "We voted for NO amnesty and mass deportations of ALL illegals. No compromises. No exceptions."
Hegseth impeachment vote looms as House Republicans privately warn it could pass
The House of Representatives is barreling toward a vote on impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth this week, and several GOP lawmakers think it could very well pass.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., is triggering a vote on impeaching Hegseth by introducing a privileged resolution on Monday, a mechanism for forcing consideration of bills that House majority leaders otherwise would have ignored. A privileged resolution must be considered within two legislative days, putting the vote on Wednesday at the latest.
Massie must first read the impeachment resolution on the House floor, which he is currently doing as of Monday afternoon. The House is then expected to accept it as a privileged motion.
It comes as fallout from the war in Iran, including high gas prices, is blamed as a key factor in Republicans' significant losses in Tuesday's midterm elections.
HEGSETH FACES BIPARTISAN IMPEACHMENT THREAT AFTER IRAN WAR GETS BLAME FOR GOP MIDTERM SLAUGHTER
Massie told Fox News Digital last week that he would trigger the vote when Congress returned after the midterms if Hegseth did not first resign.
Hegseth, for his part, called the impeachment effort against him a "shame" that "won't work" in a video posted to X on Friday.
HEGSETH DEMANDS $350B FOR MILITARY, FIRES BACK AT DEM IMPEACHMENT PUSH
But several House Republicans told Fox News Digital on Thursday that they believed Hegseth could very well be impeached. Sources said a combination of absences of Republican members who lost their elections and negative sentiment toward Hegseth's conduct could be enough to tip it over the edge.
Massie's impeachment resolution includes eight articles having to do with the war in Iran, striking suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, U.S. strikes against Yemen, and the extradition of now-former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
GOP REP THOMAS MASSIE INTRODUCES 8 ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST WAR SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH
Notably, another impeachment article accuses Hegseth of suppressing free speech by retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., over a video in which Kelly urged troops to resist "unlawful orders."
A privileged resolution notably carries two steps. Before a vote on the measure itself, leaders can call up a vote to "table" the bill or refer it to the relevant committee, which in both instances effectively kills it.
The last Cabinet secretary to be impeached was Biden administration Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom Republicans accused of a dereliction of duty at the U.S.-Mexico border. It was quickly scuttled without a trial in the last Democrat-controlled Senate.
It's not immediately clear how House GOP leaders plan to deal with Massie's resolution.
Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on the Vikings-Bills MNF Showdown
Week 9 ends with a matchup of two 6-1 teams under the roof in Minneapolis. Buffalo brings one of the NFL’s best offenses, Minnesota brings its best defense, and Carson Wentz gets the start for the Vikings. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on the Vikings-Bills showdown.
Buffalo’s Momentum
The Bills look like the class of the AFC right now. They dismantled Baltimore 36-10 last week, and Josh Allen and James Cook lead an offense that has been one of the most efficient in football all season. Buffalo is favored on the road for a reason, and the public will be on the Bills Monday night.
Minnesota’s Answer
The Vikings were the NFL’s last unbeaten team until Detroit beat them last week. Their calling card is a defense that hasn’t let anybody get comfortable, and their games have been grinders all year, with only one of seven going over the total. Wentz steps in as the starter, bringing a veteran presence and a willingness to push the ball to Justin Jefferson.
This is the kind of spot where the public overreacts to the most recent result. Buffalo just blew out a Ravens team that lost Lamar Jackson on the first snap. Minnesota just lost its first game. Those two results have pushed the line past a field goal, toward a number the matchup doesn’t support.
The Vikings are at home, coming off a loss and facing a primetime crowd that will be loud from the opening kick. Their defense is built to take away exactly what Buffalo does best, and in a low-scoring game, every half-point matters.
The Pick: Vikings +3.5
The hook is everything here. A game between the NFL’s best defense and a top offense is likely to be decided by one score, and 3.5 points means Minnesota can lose on a last-second field goal and still cash. Take the home underdog and the extra half-point. Better yet, your $350 in FanCash arrives no matter how it lands.
Bills vs Vikings Odds
Odds are subject to change
Buffalo is the more explosive team, but Minnesota has the defense, the home crowd and a chip on its shoulder after losing for the first time. That’s a combination that tends to keep games close.
Two 6-1 teams and a Monday night stage. New users can bet $20 on the Vikings-Bills showdown and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.
Alaska Senate fight heats up as Sullivan moves to block Peltola lawsuit over rejected absentee ballot records
Sen. Dan Sullivan's re-election campaign filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit from Democrat Mary Peltola's Senate campaign on Monday, arguing the lawsuit was seeking to force Alaska elections officials to ignore state law.
Sullivan and Peltola remain locked in a razor-thin race for U.S. Senate after last week's election. Peltola's campaign filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Division of Elections on Friday seeking access to records for absentee ballots that were preliminarily rejected in the midterm election.
The Division responded to the lawsuit by stating that individual voters have yet to be notified that their ballots were rejected, and it would be improper to grant Peltola's campaign access to that data before voters themselves.
DUNLEAVY CALLS ALASKA VOTING SYSTEM ‘VERY CONFUSING’ AS RAZOR-THIN SENATE RACE FROZEN IN TIME
Sullivan's campaign argued on Monday that the lawsuit is an attempt to "rig the system" in Peltola's favor.
"It should surprise no one that the same D.C. lawyers who spent more than a year conspiring with Mary Peltola’s campaign to deceive Alaskan voters are now asking a court to let her campaign ignore Alaska law and change the rules while votes are still being counted," said Nate Adams, campaign spokesman. "Peltola’s lawsuit is only further evidence that she is not confident she can win on the merits alone, which is why her campaign is once again attempting to rig the system in her favor."
ALASKA VOTERS APPEAR POISED TO PRESERVE RANKED-CHOICE VOTING AMID 'DECOY DAN' SENATE DRAMA
"Our campaign is following Alaska precedent to make sure every legally cast ballot is counted, and we remain confident that when every one of those ballots is counted, Senator Sullivan will win," Adams continued.
As of Monday, Peltola leads Sullivan by just over 600 votes, with over 25% of votes remaining to be counted.
Sullivan and the GOP have condemned Democrats for a "Decoy Dan" scheme that saw an independent, Daniel J. Sullivan on the ballot in an alleged plot to siphon votes from the Republican incumbent.
Republican Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said the other Sullivan tried to get on the general election ballot as Daniel S. Sullivan, using the middle initial of the incumbent instead of his own.
SEN DAN SULLIVAN BRANDS PELTOLA’S ALLEGED BALLOT SCHEME A ‘SCANDAL AT THE HIGHEST ORDER’
"That kind of opened our eyes and we began an investigation back there, the Division of Elections did, to determine if this was a legitimate candidacy, and the Division of Elections at that time found that was not and did not put him on the ballot," Dunleavy said. "Then there was a court case and the Supreme Court in the end ruled against the Division of Elections in Alaska, and they must go on the ballot."
After a New York Times report tied potential knowledge of the "Decoy Dan" scheme to Peltola's campaign, Dunleavy reopened the investigation of possible wrongdoing.

Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Get $50 When You Play $10 on Vikings vs Bills
Week 9 closes with a heavyweight matchup on Monday Night Football. The 6-1 Bills head to Minneapolis to face the 6-1 Vikings, who saw their perfect season end last week and now get the AFC’s most dangerous offense with Carson Wentz under center. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries on Vikings vs. Bills.
Strength vs Strength
This one comes down to Buffalo’s offense against Minnesota’s defense. The Bills just ran Baltimore off the field 36-10 and have one of the most efficient attacks in football behind Josh Allen and James Cook.
Minnesota counters with the stingiest defense in the NFL. The Vikings were the league’s last unbeaten team until Detroit beat them last week, and their games have been low-scoring all year. Only one of Minnesota’s seven games has gone over the total. The question on Monday is whether Wentz and the Vikings’ offense can generate enough to give that defense a chance to win.
Bills vs Vikings Odds
Odds are subject to change
Josh Allen rushing yards (higher): When defenses take away the passing game, Allen takes off. Minnesota will try to keep everything in front of it and limit big plays through the air, which leaves room for Allen to scramble. He’s the most dangerous running quarterback in the league, and his legs could be Buffalo’s best weapon against an elite defense.
James Cook rushing yards (lower): Here’s the contrarian angle. Cook has been a big part of Buffalo’s success, but Minnesota’s defense is built to shut down early-down runs and force opponents into long third downs. If the Vikings take away the ground game, Buffalo will lean more on Allen, and Cook’s workload could take a hit.
Justin Jefferson receiving yards (higher): Minnesota will need to score to keep pace, and the offense still runs through its best player. Wentz is a veteran who isn’t afraid to push the ball downfield, and in a game where the Vikings may need chunk plays, Jefferson will be his first look. Primetime games against good teams are where Jefferson tends to deliver.
The Vikings are coming off their first loss of the season, and teams that just had a perfect record snapped tend to come out with something to prove. Playing at home in front of a loud Monday night crowd under the roof, Minnesota should be fired up. That’s why the Vikings are only a field-goal-plus underdog against one of the AFC’s best teams.
Two 6-1 teams, a primetime stage and the best defense in football against one of the best offenses. Play $10 on Vikings vs. Bills with Underdog promo code FOXNEWS and get $50 in bonus entries.
Betr Promo Code FOXNEWS: Get a $200 Bonus & 4x Free Picks for Vikings-Bills
Monday Night Football features two 6-1 teams, a veteran quarterback stepping in for Minnesota and the NFL’s stingiest defense against one of its best offenses. It’s a game built for player props. Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to get a $200 bonus and four free picks for Vikings vs. Bills.
Buffalo enters riding high after a 36-10 win over Baltimore, with Josh Allen and James Cook powering one of the league’s most efficient offenses. Minnesota was the NFL’s last unbeaten team until Detroit beat it last week, and now Carson Wentz gets the start against a contender on a national stage.
The Vikings’ identity is their defense. It’s the best in football, and only one of Minnesota’s seven games has gone over the total this season. That makes the 45.5 total and every player prop in this game worth a careful look.
Odds are subject to change
Josh Allen rushing attempts (higher): Minnesota’s defense is built to take away the deep ball and keep plays in front of it. When the throwing lanes close, Allen runs. Expect designed runs in short-yardage spots plus his usual scrambles, which makes his attempts number one of the most reliable plays on the board.
James Cook receptions (higher): If the Vikings shut down Buffalo’s early-down runs, Cook doesn’t disappear from the game plan, he just moves to the passing game. Screens and checkdowns become the way to get him the ball in space against an aggressive defense. His catch total is a smarter way to play him than his rushing line.
Justin Jefferson receptions (higher): Wentz is a veteran who knows exactly where his best player is. Expect Minnesota to get the ball to Jefferson early and often to settle Wentz in and move the chains. Volume is the angle here, not yardage, since Buffalo will try to keep everything in front of it.
Carson Wentz interceptions (higher): Here’s the contrarian swing. Wentz is willing to take chances downfield, and if the Vikings fall behind against Buffalo’s offense, he’ll be pushed into more aggressive throws. On a big stage against a strong defense, at least one turnover through the air is very much in play.
Minnesota is coming off its first loss of the season and gets to answer at home in front of a loud Monday night crowd. The Vikings’ defense will be fired up, which is why the line sits at just over a field goal.
