Prediction
The oddsmakers continue to undervalue this Minnesota team and they just keep on winning and covering spreads. The Vikings are also one of the healthiest teams in the league and that is a huge advantage this time of year. Kenneth Walker returns to the Seahawks lineup, but Geno Smith is still playing hurt and the Minnesota teams will give them fits. Seattle is just 3-5 at home and the Vikings are just the more consistent team right now.
Pick: Vikings -2.5
