The Seahawks come in to this game ranked 3rd in total offense (416.3 Yds/Game) passing for 303.0 Yds/Game and rushing for 113.3 Yds/Game. Seahawks are 32nd in total yards allowed on defense per game (476.8 Yds/Game) allowing 401.0 Yds/Game through the air and 75.8 Yds/Game on the ground. Seahawks have 6 sacks, 6 interceptions, and 2 fumbles recovered, while giving up 11 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 fumble lost.
I like the Seahawks to cover here. They have come out strong throwing the ball this year and Russell Wilson looks unstoppable. The Vikings should get torched and be forced to play from behind. Though I think they'll be within striking distance because of how weak the Seahwaks defense is, I think the Seahawks should still beat them by 7 points.
