I'll give you my final score prediction before the show's over, but first, we start with some more specific predictions.
I think the Vikings tend to be a bit more conservative with these things, especially when it's early in the season and with your stars.
In that spirit, I think that Jauan Jennings filling in for Justin Jefferson as the wide receiver two has a full week to prepare as the wide receiver two.
I think Jauan Jennings finally splashes for the first time, which is much needed because Jauan Jennings has been a non-factor and didn't play in one game, non-factor in the other two games.
There are so many vulnerabilities on this Dolphins defense, and I heard this morning that the Vikings offense is being paid like $100 million more than the Dolphins defense.
It's super young and super raw, and this is like a good test for Kevin O'Connell, who has struggled the last year and a half to get this offense into some flow, to draw up things simple enough that a, a young or a new quarterback in this offense, in Kyler Murray's case, can execute it with pace, with rhythm, and move the chains a little bit.
This has to be a get right week for the offense, and I think Murray gets to 250 yards, plays a turnover-free game, and I think it's a step in the right direction.
From literally from the bottom, I think this takes the Vikings offense up a rung on the ladder.
