Take the Vikings spread against the Patriots for NFL preseason picks, odds & expert prediction on Saturday, August 16.
Gilbert's prediction: Having reliable depth at quarterback will be key to the Vikings taking advantage of the feeble defense of the Patriots.The Minnesota Vikings host the New England Patriots on Saturday afternoon after a few days of joint practices between the squads.
Both teams won their preseason openers, with the Patriots coming away with a commanding 48-18 win over Washington and the Vikings beating the Texans 20-10. But final scores don’t mean too much in the preseason. Each of those victories came at home, and I'm expecting that to continue in my Patriots vs. Vikings predictions and bestisn’t expected to suit up for the Vikings’ second preseason game after a dominant performance in practice, the Vikings still hold the edge over the Patriots on Saturday afternoon. "The offense was humming as a whole,” McCarthy said after practice."I feel like the physicality up front really set the tone, and just the way we're able to execute and be precise; but it all starts with the boys up front. They did a tremendous job today.”combined to go 16-for-21 with 152 yards and a touchdown against the Texans. They should be able to replicate that and then some against a weaker New England defense. On the flip side, the Patriots did most of their damage last week on the ground. That was an area where the Vikings excelled against the Texans, allowing 65 yards on 17 carries. The Vikings are simply a much better team than the Patriots all the way throughout the depth chart, and they’ll want to give their fans a good showing at home.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
