Thursday Night Football pits the Minnesota Vikings against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Things have gotten pretty bad fr the Vikings as they have lost four of their last six games including a loss to the winless Lions. The offense is putting up points but their defense has been letting them down. They have given up more than 30 points a game in their last three games and have one of the worst past defenses in the league. The Steelers despite Big Ben's struggles have still been able to produce the 15th-best passing offense in the NFL. The Vikings offense has been able to score but may be without two of their best weapons as Dalvin Cook is questionable and Adam Thielen has already been ruled out for this game. Without Cook and if the Vikings have to pass the ball they will be facing a Steelers defense that leads the league in sacks and has given up the fifth-fewest passing touchdowns. Eleven of Minnesota's twelve games have been decided by eight points or less this season. Pittsburgh despite all their problems looks like the better team.

Play on Pittsburgh. This is an 8* play
