Minnesota Vikings +2.5 over SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

The Vikings are coming off a bye. Kirk Cousins already broke the primetime curse earlier this year. Minnesota is one spot ahead of Seattle in DVOA — but six spots ahead of them when defenses are compared.

The Seahawks have been winning games in odd ways this year. That’s fine, but it’s tougher to do that against disciplined teams. The Vikings are coached well where they won’t make certain mistakes against Seattle that other teams have made.

Sixty-one percent of the bets are on the Seahawks according to Action Network. Only 53 percent of the money is on Seattle. There’s a plus-eight percent of sharp money on Minnesota. It’s just a feeling that Minnesota pulls this one out.
