Seahawks will have Drew Locke on thr field for most of the game, who has been a starter in this league and knowing he's capable of airing the ball down the field (as well as turning the ball over a fair amount) I expect this to be a fast paced game vs the Vikings who have opted to increase the demand offensively with the hiring of Kevin O'Connell last season which worked well to improve Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson, however thr defense left alot go be desired and hiring Brian Flores should have a positive effect on the poor defense shown by Minnesota I can't bet in it to be shown as early as week 1 pre-season. We will see a mix of QB play on Minnesota side, with Nick Mullens and rookie draft pick Jaren Hall who threw 31 Touchdowns and 3000+ yards in his last college season, should be able to fit into the O'Connell scheme of pressing the issue and attacking the defense through the air. Vikings have the deeper offensive unit when you take into account some of the veteran pass catchers they have backing up the young starters (Nkeal Harry, Jalen Reagor, Josh Oliver) but Seattle has insanely better runningback depth with rookie Zach Charbonnet, Deejay Dallas, and Kenny Mcintosh. These defenses are not favored to be formidable this season, and this should be a high scoring game.

Official Play: Over 35 points

Side Bet: Vikings +3.5
