0 of 7 experts pick the Vikings, Bleacher Report
Bleacher Report analysis by Gary Davenport:
This pick can be summed up in two words: Max Brosmer.
He isn’t a randomly generated “Madden” character, although he rather sounds like one. He is an undrafted rookie who spent five seasons at New Hampshire before transferring to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in 2024.
Brosmer will make his first NFL start in one of the most hostile road environments against the league’s seventh-ranked defense in both yards and points allowed.
Bleacher Report analysis by Kris Knox:
It looks like we’re all on the Seahawks, and there’s a good reason for that: Minnesota’s offensive line is a liability and is about to face the buzzsaw that is Seattle.
Whether the Vikings have McCarthy or Brosmer behind center, this is a potentially calamitous situation for them. However, that doesn’t mean Minnesota can’t cover.
If the Vikings can consistently get the ball to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, they can keep things relatively close on the scoreboard.
If Sam Darnold has another four-interception day – and his former employer will know how to make him uncomfortable – the Seahawks may find themselves in trap-game territory.
