Who's Playing

Seattle (home) vs. Minnesota (away)

Current Records: Seattle 9-2; Minnesota 8-3

What to Know

The Minnesota Vikings have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will head out on the road to face off against the Seattle Seahawks at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday at CenturyLink Field. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

The Vikings didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Denver Broncos two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 27-23 win. Minnesota was down big at the end of the half, but the squad rallied to mount a spectacular comeback.

Meanwhile, Seattle was able to grind out a solid victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last week, winning 17-9. Seattle can attribute much of their success to RB Rashaad Penny, who rushed for 129 yards and one TD on 14 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Penny has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.

Their wins bumped Minnesota to 8-3 and Seattle to 9-2. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Vikings enter the matchup with only three rushing touchdowns allowed, good for best in the league. Less enviably, the Seahawks are fourth worst in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, with 282.6 on average. Look for both offensives to try attacking early to give their own defense a break.
