Seattle Seahawks vs Minnesota Vikings picks
The Seahawks know that traveling to Minnesota is not smooth sailing. However, these aren't the same Vikings that made the NFC Championship in 2017-18.
Mike Zimmer's team has become porous on defense. The Seahawks offense should have plenty of firepower to outscore and outduel the Vikings.

The Seahawks are battling several injuries on the roster. Rookie wideout Dee Eskridge is still in concussion protocol and hasn't practiced all week. Running back Rashaad Penny joins him in the 'didn't practice' club. Tackle Brandon Shell rounds out the did not participate trio.
Receiver Freddie Swain is trending in the right direction after not practicing on Wednesday.
The Vikings are in decent shape. Only running back Dalvin Cook is a worry. The bell-cow back hasn't practiced all week and could miss the game. Everyone else on the injury report took a limited part in the sessions and should be healthy come game-time.
