Minnesota Vikings (0-2) vs Seattle Seahawks (1-1)

My selection is on Seattle moneyline over Minnesota at 4:25 pm et on Sunday.
Yes, the Vikings 'need it more' after starting 0-2 but the Seahawks certainly don't want to get off to a 1-2 start, not in a crowded and ultra-competitive NFC West. I simply feel that Seattle is the better team in this matchup and should be able to duplicate what Arizona did to the Vikings offense last week. Minnesota wasted a tremendous offensive performance last week as it scored 30+ points but couldn't secure the win thanks to a missed field goal in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter. Were it not for a couple of interceptions the Vikings easily could have given up 40+ points in that loss. This is far from an ideal 'get right' matchup against a Seahawks squad that's coming off a disappointing loss of its own at home against the Titans. Seattle got steamrolled by Derrick Henry in the second half of that contest. Fortunately, they'll be facing a Vikings squad that has a running back in Dalvin Cook that's playing at less than 100% healthy (if he plays at all). Take Seattle moneyline (7*).
