NFL Football Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings Start Time, NFL Odds

It’s not the worst matchup the Giants can have, but who wants to play the team that will be the No. 1 seed that wins every week? The Vikings won their sixth in seven games to reclaim sole possession of first place – a spot they haven’t held this late in a season since winning the division with a 12-4 record in 2009. When Adrian Peterson rushes for than 115 yards this season, the Vikings are undefeated at 7-0 so far this season.

The NFL’s leading rusher, Adrian Peterson, again carried the Vikings to victory over the Atlanta Falcons 20-10.

The Seahawks have made stopping the run a habit.

He has six 100-yard rushing games this season, and his eight touchdowns give him 99 for his career. The Vikings are the only team better than the Seahawks at running the ball, but the Seahawks do know how to limit opposing running backs.

Who do you guys think will win this game and what are your final score predictions? Even if they play, Seattle is likely to test them by running right at them.

Meanwhile, the Vikings dispatched the reeling Atlanta Falcons, 20-10, at the Georgia Dome last Sunday to bounce back from their 30-13 setback to Green Bay the week before, as reported by Yahoo Sports. That’s a recipe for a blowout in St. Louis, where the Rams lost by 24 points in their last home game. That said, there are still five games to go in regular-season play, so much is yet to be decided. “I look at it in the light as there’s a lot of things, even outside of what happened a year ago, in my life that I am unrooting and changing in so many different ways for the betterment for me as a man and for my family as well”. Regardless, Seattle can’t argue about it anymore, as Graham suffered a season ending injury in his knee against the Steelers.

Floyd makes a preseason list of his trade targets and presents it to Ryan, as a planning courtesy for the equipment staff. The collection is not on display yet, just folded safely out of sight at home. The Seattle Seahawks ground game is averaging 144.2 yards per contest, and Thomas Rawls leads the way with 685 yards and three touchdowns. In the pass game, Russell Wilson is the kind of quarterback that the Vikings have traditionally had trouble with, though that should be mitigated this week with the return of Harrison Smith to the Minnesota defense and Anthony Barr wreaking havoc wherever he goes.

“I have a lot of respect for (Sherman) and really their whole defense”, Zimmer said. “[Doug] Baldwin, they’ve got [Tyler] Lockett with speed, Russell Wilson is playing at a high level”. The Vikings were reminded of what they are missing with Phil Loadholt back in town. “It’ll be a full-day affair”.

Seattle is second in offensive rushing yards, though Marshawn Lynch is now injured and not playing, which hurts. Two of their losses by more than four points came against the Broncos and Cardinals, who are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. During Minnesota’s three losses this season, Bridgewater was sacked 18 times.

The Vikings are like the Seahawks, built to run and play defense. Against the Vikings in Minnesota Sunday, the steamroller will be coming from the opposite direction. The more unsafe threat in this game is of course Adrian Peterson. Can Minnesota execute the same plan against elite competition? Wilson is going to go off and the offense will put up enough production to take home the win and improve to 7-5 on the season. “We just got to be all in on each other”.
