Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Seahawks 30, Vikings 20
“The Vikings are seeing a sinking offensive ship with second-year QB J.J. McCarthy having major struggles. That will feel worse to see former starter Sam Darnold winning big and playing well for Seattle. The Seahawks field the offense with the true balance and explosiveness in this matchup, with Darnold giving Jaxon Smith-Njigba the treatment Justin Jefferson wishes he still had.”
Bill Bender, Sporting News: Seahawks 33, Vikings 20
“Sam Darnold faces the team that helped revive his career. The Vikings are struggling on offense with JJ McCarthy, who has taken five sacks in each of his last two road starts and is in concussion protocol. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS as an underdog. Darnold keeps the Seahawks in line in the NFC West.”
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Seahawks 30, Vikings 9
“This is the revenge game for Sam Darnold against the team he played with in 2025. He led that Vikings team to the playoffs and they didn’t want him back. Now he’s playing at a high level, while the Vikings have quarterback issues. With struggling J.J. McCarthy in the concession protocol, this could be rookie Max Brosmer making his first start. That’s tough enough on the road, but in Seattle it’s brutal. Seahawks big.”
