Play: Minnesota Vikings
Rating: 5*

The Vikings are 9-1 in preseason under head coach Mike Zimmer and 7-0 ATS in their last seven preseason games. QB Teddy Bridgewater impressed when they defeated the Bengals 17-16 in their preseason opener when he completed six of his seven passes for a total of 92 yards and a TD. I have high expectations for Bridgewater this season, and combined with a solid D Minnesota will definitely be a team to keep an eye on. Seattle won its preseason opener 17-16 as well as they came from behind late to beat the Chiefs. It was far from a convincing performance from the Seahawks though and both starting QB Russell Wilson and backup QB Trevor Boykin struggled behind center while the Vikings have good depth on the QB position. The Vikings put more emphasis on the preseason than the Seahawks, and I would not be surprised to see them win this one outright, but taking the field goal and a half seems like the an sharper move.
