Vikings QB Question Marks Lead to Trouble in Seattle?
The Minnesota Vikings (4-7) face a daunting trip to Lumen Field to battle the Seattle Seahawks, but now the Vikings are also dealing with uncertainty at the quarterback position. With the Seahawks healthy and ready to defend their home turf, this contest could quickly become a one-sided affair if the Vikings cannot answer the bell.
With both squads looking to take advantage of their opponents struggles, this contest, kicking off at 4:05 PM EST, is set to test the limits of each team’s offenses and defenses.
Vikings Look to Overcome Chaos
According to the final injury report for Week 13, the Vikings will be without starting quarterback McCarthy, which sets up a difficult situation for the visiting squad. With no official announcement on who will be taking his place, the Vikings face a significant disadvantage as the prepare to battle in the hostile environment of Seattle’s Lumen Field.
For the Vikings, the challenge is clear: maintain consistency with a lack of leadership from the QB position, and let the defense step up in a big way to secure the Vikings the win.
Seahawks Looking Ready for a Fight
With no players on the injury report the Seattle Seahawks have their eye on taking advantage of the QB situation for the Vikings. Playing at home in front of their notoriously loud fan base, the deck is stacked in the Seahawks favor to run up the score against a struggling Vikings team.
With the entire squad prepared to step up, a big performance by the Seahawks would help secure their role as top contenders this year.
Prediction
Having the starting quarterback out is a death sentence for a squad with as many problems as the Vikings currently have. The Seahawks are going to take advantage of that with an agressive defense that gives the backup quarterback no space to breath. Look for a strong, convincing win as the Seahawks dominate on both sides of the ball.
The Pick: Seahawks -11.5
Over/Under: Under 41.5
Final Score Prediction: Seahawks 30, Vikings 10
