The Minnesota Vikings enter this season as one of the two favorites to take top honors in the National Conference North division, and their chances are even greater after their direct rival, the Green Bay Packers, let some important pieces go in the off-season.
In fact, the Vikings strengthened in the preseason at the expense of the Packers by signing Za’Darius Smith as a free agent, thus getting a much-needed reinforcement on defense that will come in handy to protect Kirk Cousins, who would end up staying at quarterback despite rumors of a possible change in the position.
Betting on the Las Vegas Raiders
- Record: 0-0-0
- Spread: -2.5
- Moneyline: -135
- Over/Under: 34
The Raiders were one of the biggest cheerleaders on the market in the offseason, and the Vikings will surely be grateful to them in one way or another, as they signed Davante Adams, one of the Green Bay Packers’ best players, which will help them fight for their division.
With this, the Raiders plan to fight to return to the postseason for two consecutive seasons for the first time since 2001/2002. Even though it will be complicated, as the Western Division of the American Conference became much more competitive after several teams reinforced for this season.
JefeBet Prediction
The Raiders are a team that shows great promise and should begin to prove it from this very game, and playing at home will serve as an encouragement for them to get a victory to start the season on the right foot.
Prediction: Las Vegas Raiders Moneyline
