Injury report

As for the other guys...Jamal Adams is out so that's even better news for the passing game.

There goes their leading sacker(2)...!  B) 

Vikings LB Eric Kendricks is again not practicing today due to a foot injury, CB Holton Hill is also not practicing with a foot injury and KJ Osborn is out with a hamstring injury. Hill was limited yesterday while Kendricks and Osborn didn’t practice

Last +/- I saw for this game was 57 

I may have to take the over with these 2 defenses (and no 12th man).

Troy Dye (far right) spotted at practice w/ boot on left foot. He’s eligible to come off IR ahead of Week 6. KJ Osborn (left) and Pat Elflein worked out on the rehab field. Still no Danielle Hunter.

Also not practicing: Eric Kendricks

We need Kendricks for this one.

No doubt that Wilson is going to move the ball up and down the field on us. The key will be to tighten up in the red zone and force them to kick field goals while we score touchdowns. That's how we win. Incredibly tough to do without Kendricks and Barr. 

Vikings will be tempted to play ball control with Cook to keep the ball away from Wilson, but you have to attack this team's weakness, it's pass defense. Let Cousins Cook. 

Vikings 42 Seattle 37 

Oh wait, it's nationally televised? 

A nationally televised game typically means disaster for the men in purple, especially if the media think the Vikes have a chance to win.  We might just pull this one off because few media believe we can play up to Seahawks level.

IMO, Russell Wilson has a career day against our inexperienced DB's and the questions at LB (will Kendricks play?).  I say 42-21 Hawks.

I think the chances of the Vikes winning this one are rather slim, unless they can force a few turnovers and not turn the ball over themselves. A Russ pick or two would be huge in a game where their defense is just as bad as ours, but we have the better running game with Dalvin. It's winnable, but we need more luck than usual for this one

I would take the over, Wilson is hot and he might hang 50 on this team. 51-31 Seahawks.

Holton Hill and Kris Boyd, who were listed as questionable vs. Seattle, have been ruled out, so the Vikings secondary will feature a different group of starting corners for the 5th straight game this season. Other inactives: K.J. Osborn (hamstring),... https://t.co/umd1fnxjnI

The CBs have been constantly banged up this year. The good news is that it's not always the same game, but Hill, Hughes, Dantzler, & Boyd have all missed at least one game so far. Adding a veteran CB to provide some stable depth might be wise.
