Can the Vikings extend their winning streak to eight games on Sunday in Seattle?
After a successful three-game homestand, the Vikings are back on the road this weekend as they look to extend their winning streak to eight games and keep pace with the Lions and Eagles atop the NFC. They're headed to Seattle to take on an 8-6 Seahawks team that is fighting for its playoff life and will have Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker III healthy.
Minnesota is a slight three-point road favorite on Sunday. Will the streak reach eight? Our staff writers have made their picks.The Vikings are a better team than the Seahawks, but this one might be tough. There's rain in the forecast, Seattle has two excellent running backs, and the Vikings have struggled a bit to defend the run with Ivan Pace Jr. on injured reserve. Also, Mike Macdonald's team really needs this game and it's a difficult place to win on the road.
A Vikings win in Seattle is long overdue. With Minnesota on a roll and finding different ways to win, they’re a tough team to pick to lose. Seattle are tough though and in the thick of a race for the NFC West. With QB Geno Smith at less than 100%, the Vikings defense should definitely have their ears pinned back looking to hurry a guy on a banged up knee. This has close one written all over it.
