Q: What is your formal score prediction for Vikings-Packers?
A: Collectively, the writers at our sister-web page, VikingsTerritory.com, selected the Vikings to edge the Packers, 27-24.
Irrespective of investing Davante Adams to Las Vegas and letting Za’Darius Smith walk to Minnesota, the Packers in fact have an outstanding on-paper protection — a person of the most effective in yrs. Maybe many years.
However, just like the 2016 year when the Vikings opened U.S. Bank Stadium against Inexperienced Bay, we predict the Vikings to acquire treatment of business. They just cannot shed to their principal foe, in their household, for the duration of the rookie head coach’s opening act. It’s not permitted in these sections.
Q: Are folks sleeping on Dalvin Cook due to the fact Minnesota is pivoting to the pass-to start with tactic?
A: Sure.
The 2021 Los Angeles Rams ran the soccer a whole lot more than folks feel or care to try to remember. The improve for Minnesota is the cessation of “run-first” as the unabashed philosophy. That is dead.
Prepare dinner will still be showcased and for this reason inflict trauma on opponents. He could possibly even keep much healthier as the offense does not check with him to ram into the line of scrimmage as much.
Also, the McVay-O’Connell Rams relished utilizing managing back again as huge receivers. So, preserve that in head for Cook’s plate.
Q: Are you freaked out at all by Lewis Cine’s peaceful summer months?
A: No.
Cine didn’t consider the summer season by storm. Not each individual rookie does so. It would’ve been wonderful if he did, but Camryn Bynum held maintain of his starting off basic safety career.
The Vikings extended-term program for Cine is life-just after-Harrison-Smith. Much too, Minnesota will use a few-basic safety sets, and Cine will be included that way.
He’s also questionable with a knee injuries for Sunday. Cine may well not participate in at all towards the Packers. Ethical of the tale? Be individual with him.
