Vikings vs. Seahawks Prediction:
Take the over 42.5 in this matchup on Sunday. Both teams rank in the bottom half of the league running the ball, with Seattle ranking 21st in yards per rush attempt and Minnesota ranking 25th. On top of that Minnesota ranks 2nd against the run allowing just 3.9 yards per rush attempt. So what does that mean? Lots of passing the ball. And this game just so happens to feature some of the best receivers in the game with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf taking on Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. The Vikings have scored 30+ in 3 of their last 4 games and average 26.4 points per game on the season. Seahawks games have hit over 42.5 points in the last 3 games. Look for both teams to be able to move the ball and hit a low total.
Vikings vs. Seahawks Prediction: Over 42.5
