Tennessee Titans: NFL Week 1 Game Picks And Score Predictions
By Zach Ragan
New Orleans Saints @ Minnesota Vikings
Monday — 7:10 PM ET (ESPN)
The big story in this game will be the return of future hall of fame running back Adrian Peterson to Minnesota.
Peterson isn’t the same dominating force he was during his glory years with the Vikings, but you can bet he’ll be amped up for this game.
While everyone’s thinking about the offense in this game, however, I think defense will end up being the difference. Minnesota’s defense continues to improve under Mike Zimmer.
So even though I’m not sold on the Vikings’ offense, I think they’ll pull out a win at home because of their aforementioned defense.
Prediction: Vikings 24 Saints 16
