Game 9 – @ Oakland Raiders

This game would’ve been more fun if Christian Ponder was holding a clipboard for the Raiders, but he’s not and there goes an easy storyline to be had. With or without Ponder, the Vikings should find themselves on the winning side of a second blowout win in 2015 against the Raiders.

If Amari Cooper can be what many think he can, that’ll be a tough aspect to defend, but we have to remember that the Raiders are under the influence of a Bill Musgrave offense. We know all too well how those offenses go. Throw in the fact that Zimmer is in charge of the Vikings defense, it should be a pretty easy time for the Vikings.

There might be riots if the Vikings don’t win this one, but I don’t really see that being an issue. *crosses fingers*

Vikings win
