Minnesota Vikings vs. New England Patriots Prediction

New England enters play playing to the tune of a 6-4 record. The Patriots have won three straight games and five of their last six. They beat the Jets on Sunday when they took a punt back for a touchdown as the clock ran out. This is a team that has won games with great defense and running the football well. The Patriots play an old style of football, but head coach Bill Bellicheck continues to win despite not having the most talented roster in the world. The Patriots will look to continue their winning way’s tonight against one of the best teams in football at the moment.

The Vikings enter this game representing a record of 8-2, sitting on top of the NFC North. Minnesota has a comfortable four-game lead over the Packers, and they currently hold the tiebreaker over Green Bay. It would be difficult for them to blow their divisional lead, but crazier things have happened. The Vikings have had an impressive year so far, but they are fresh off their worst loss of the season. They were embarrassed on Sunday afternoon at home when they lost to the Dallas Cowboys 40-3. The narrative with the Vikings has been that despite their great record, they are frauds. After that loss on Sunday, many people think that they proved their point. They will look to get the sour taste out of their mouth tonight with a home win. 

I am all over the Vikings on the money line tonight. I am shocked we are getting a line this good, but I will gladly take it. I believe that the line being this short is an overreaction to Sunday's loss.

This is the NFL, and from time to time, you are going to get blown out. I still think that this is a very good team who has a clear offensive advantage tonight. Minnesota ranks 13th in the NFL, scoring 22.9 points per game. New England ranks 20th in the NFL, averaging 21.3 points per game. New England has actually overperformed in my eyes as an offense, and they are going to regress from their current numbers. This team is not built to play from behind, and I think the Vikings match up very well with them. I will be backing prime-time Kirk Cousins tonight! Let’s stay hot and get rich.
