On Sunday, when the Buffalo Bills (6-2) play the Minnesota Vikings (7-1), two of the best teams in the NFL will face off. Allen has not been able to practice this week, and although he has not yet been officially ruled out, it appears more likely that backup Case Keenum will start against the Vikings, one of his previous clubs.
Minnesota is having a tremendous start to life under new coach Kevin O'Connell, and their lone setback was to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. Buffalo would not have it easy in this game even with a full roster.

Kirk Cousins is now ranked 13th in the NFL with a QBR of 50.3, completing 64.8% of his throws while throwing six interceptions and 13 touchdowns. With 608 rushing yards and 4.6 yards per attempt, Dalvin Cook is in the first place.
Minnesota ranks 26th in terms of yards allowed per game (368.1) and 12th in terms of points allowed (20.1). They rank 27th for allowing 256.9 passing yards per game and ninth for allowing 111.3 rushing yards.
The Buffalo defense leads the NFL in allowing only 14.8 points per game while ranking fourth in allowing 299.6 yards per game. The offense is in place first overall with 416.4 yards and third in points per game with 27.5.
The offensive statistics for Buffalo were led by Josh Allen, who had a season worthy of the MVP. Allen ranks second in the NFL with 2,403 passing yards, a 74.4 QBR, and 19 touchdowns to eight interceptions.
In the absence of Allen, Case Keenum will start. Keenum has completed only seven throws this year, but in seven games with Cleveland the previous year, he had a 65.3% completion rate, three touchdowns, and one interception.
Vikings vs Bills Best Picks and Prediction
Since entering the NFL as a rookie in 2013, Keenum has played in 78 games and has helped the Browns to a 2-0 record as a starter. Keenum is an experienced veteran who can choose his place and advance the ball there.
The Vikings' defense ranks 22nd in the NFL, allowing 5.7 yards per game. The Bills, on the other hand, are 6-1-2 ATS in their last nine games after a loss, have one of the top defenses in the NFL, and enjoy a home-field advantage.
While you still can, take Buffalo at -3.5. Also, keep in mind that if Allen does return, this will be a great deal.
Pick: Bills -3.5 (-105)
