It’s the time of year for the Minnesota Vikings to make their (seemingly) annual trip to the Pacific Northwest, as they’ll take to the road in Week 13 to face off against one of the NFL’s best teams, the Seattle Seahawks.
These two teams put on a great game last season at this same venue, as the Vikings came from behind to win to win a thriller, 27-24. Things couldn’t be more different now, as the purple limp into this one with a record of 4-7, losers of their last three games, while the Seahawks come in with an 8-3 mark and are competing for the top spot in the NFC West and the NFC as a whole.
As we know, the man who led the Vikings to a 14-win season in 2024, Sam Darnold, is now the quarterback in Seattle. While he’s had a couple of rough outings, most notably against the Rams a couple of weeks ago, he’s still putting up very good numbers for the Seahawks this season. For the Vikings, it’s looking more and more likely that undrafted rookie Max Brosmer will get his first NFL start with J.J. McCarthy going through the concussion protocol. Will that give the Vikings any sort of a spark?
As you’d expect, the Vikings are huge underdogs heading into this one. The early line had them as a 9.5-point underdog, but that number has since ballooned to 11.5 points. Will it get bigger by Sunday afternoon? It very well could.
Kickoff for this one is scheduled for the late window on Sunday, with the broadcast slated for 3:05 PM Central time. The game will be carried by the FOX family of networks. We’ll be putting all of our coverage of this week’s game here in this stream for you, so you can check in right here for the very latest.
