The Minnesota Vikings battle the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC showdown with plenty of playoff implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Minnesota is chasing down the No. 1 seed in the NFC, while Seattle is fighting for a divisional title and a wild-card spot. I’m betting on Seattle to cover a teased-up spread in a low-scoring game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out my Vikings vs. Seahawks same-game parlay predictions for Sunday, Dec. 22 at Lumen Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parlay: Seahawks +7.5 + Under 47.5 points + Jones over 16.5 (+280)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Seahawks +7.5 (-2564):<\/strong> This game means plenty for both teams and I expect them to put forth a solid effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seattle is coming off an embarrassing loss on Sunday Night Football in a contest where Geno Smith exited early with a knee injury. Smith is expected to return, along with running back Kenneth Walker III, who hasn’t played since Week 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A healthier offence should be able to keep pace with a Minnesota team playing outdoors. Sam Darnold’s numbers are noticeably worse in outdoor games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Expect Seattle to make this a competitive contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under 47.5 points (-223):<\/strong> Darnold’s outdoor drop-off should help keep the scoring low, and so should the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Definite rain is in the forecast, according to NFLWeather.com. Slick conditions will make it difficult for either team to throw the football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Vikings have played in some lower-scoring games in recent ventures outdoors. The under on this total has cashed in two of their last three such games, averaging a lowly total of 37.3 points per outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inclement conditions will negatively impact a Seahawks offence that revolves around the pass. Seattle ranks fifth in pass play percentage (63.16%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The under on this total has cashed in each of Seattle’s last four home games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Picks made at 2:08 p.m. on 12\/21\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minnesota Vikings battle the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC showdown with plenty of playoff implications.
