Minnesota Vikings at Cleveland Browns Prediction & Betting Pick | NFL Week 5 (2025-26)
đź“… Date: Sunday, October 5, 2025
đź•– Time: 9:30 AM EST
🏟️ Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – London, England
The Browns head to London for an early Sunday kickoff against the Vikings, and one rookie quietly trending up deserves attention — Isaiah Bond.
Cleveland has already begun to lean on Bond’s explosiveness as injuries pile up in their WR rotation. With Cedric Tillman (hamstring) sidelined, Bond has stepped into a legitimate starter’s workload — logging a 71% route share in Week 4 and drawing a 17% target share, both career highs. His 2.15 yards per route run puts him in the same statistical tier as several proven slot receivers around the league.
The tape backs the numbers. Bond’s acceleration off the line, precise route stems, and ability to separate against both man and zone coverage have made him a natural fit for the Browns’ short-to-intermediate passing game. The rookie has quickly earned Dillon Gabriel’s trust, which matters more than ever now that Cleveland appears to be leaning into developing their young core.
With Flacco benched and Gabriel at QB, chemistry and timing become key. Gabriel’s quick release style meshes perfectly with Bond’s separation ability — especially against a blitz-heavy Vikings defense that forces fast decisions. Expect Bond to see multiple quick-hit looks and hot routes designed to neutralize Minnesota’s pressure.
The Browns’ WR room is thin beyond Jerry Jeudy, and Bond has already leapfrogged Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain on the depth chart. With roughly six vacated targets from Tillman’s absence, Bond should see an uptick in usage — and possibly another “quiet volume” game that cashes comfortably.
đź“Ś Official Pick:
Isaiah Bond (Cleveland Browns) – Over 28.5 Receiving Yards -116
