Minnesota Vikings: 2015 game-by-game preview and predictions

September 3, 2015; Santa Clara, CA, USA; San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (7) runs onto the field with his teammates before a preseason game against the San Diego Chargers at Levi

Game 1 – @ San Francisco 49ers

A lot of people have already spoken about what they think the Minnesota Vikings will do in this game and most people expect domination. It’s really hard not to with the 49ers losing a boatload of players this offseason. Not to mention, the Niners have a new head coach and, unless you are in the NBA, first year head coaches usually struggle just a tad.

There are some concerns to be had for the Vikings, too. Adrian Peterson hasn’t taken an NFL snap in a year and hasn’t really been hit either. John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt are gone from the offensive line for an extended amount of time. Plus, it’s just the first game of the season. There are sure to be some jitters on the field, not to mention from Minnesota couches having to listen to Chris Berman.

The Vikings win, but this game might be closer than we want to admit.

Vikings win
