Which team gets to 3-0 on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium? We've made our picks.
Coming off of an impressive win over the 49ers last Sunday, things don't get any easier for the Vikings in Week 3. They're facing another tough challenge against the Texans in what should be quite the battle of 2-0 teams. With C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, and so many other talented players, this Houston team will be tough to beat.
The same can be said about the Vikings, who cruised over the Giants in Week 1 and then were a fumble away from a multi-score win over the mighty 49ers. Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores have this team playing at a very high level, with Sam Darnold operating efficiently on offense and the defense giving opponents all kinds of fits.
The Texans have squeaked out one-score wins over the Colts and Bears so far this season, but they come into this game as 2-point road favorites over the Vikings. An AFC franchise that joined the NFL as an expansion team in 2002, they're still looking for their first-ever win over Minnesota .Will Ragatz: Vikings 27, Texans 23
I'm going to keep rolling with O'Connell and Flores and the impressive roster the Vikings have put together. Darnold's solid performance feels sustainable to me, even against a Texans defense with a lot of talent at all three levels. I expect another big game from Justin Jefferson, who is the best wide receiver on the planet.
