This should be an exciting matchup between two teams with loads of firepower. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they are without star running back Dalvin Cook. He will be replaced by Alexander Mattinson today, who lots of experts are hot on. They still have their lethal receivers, and they are playing at home in good weather conditions so I expect both teams to be going offensively. I think this game will be full of touchdowns and the Vikings will be sharp - they are going to do everything it takes to not fall to 0-3 on the season. However, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are always sharp, so this will be a close game - I can see it being decided by a last second field goal. Take the Vikings +2.5, over 54.5 total points, Kirk Cousins over 286.5 passing yards, and Russell Wilson over 281.5 passing yards.
