Minnesota Vikings (Road)

There’s no question that the Oakland Raiders will be a team of interest to watch in 2019. With their revamped offense, thanks to the flurry of star power brought in via trades and free agency. A team that can relate to the Raiders this upcoming season is the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings 2018 season was an utter disappointment and a failure. They were the 2017 Raiders essentially last season. Flip the page to 2019 and the excitement to watch the Vikings is renewed. They’ll have the same playoff aspirations and expectations like they did last season, but stronger. Looking at almost every position group all across the board they have at least one star player.

Aside from the offensive line, the Vikings are loaded. Having the Raiders and Vikings matchup in primetime should drive eyeballs to this game. It’s not too common that AFC and NFC will matchup on primetime, but if the teams are talented they will draw a lot of hype. Sunday night football is my prediction between the Vikings and Raiders.
