The Minnesota Vikings are 4-1, but it hasn’t been easy for Kirk Cousins and company. Just last week, Minnesota needed some 4th quarter heroics to knock off the dreadful Chicago Bears at home. However, the Vikings are in a good spot this week as they’ll get to take on Dolphins 3rd string quarterback Skylar Thompson with a chance to improve to 5-1. Can Miami pull off the upset shorthanded, or will Minnesota continue to find ways to win?
Our NFL expert has picks, predictions and best bets for this matchup, so let’s break it all down.

NFL Week 6 Minnesota Vikings vs Miami Dolphins prediction
This is a game where the Vikings should see success on offense. Cousins is usually reliable in an early Sunday afternoon setting like this one, and our expert believes that he’ll put Minnesota’s offense in good positions to score on Sunday. The Dolphins defense struggled mightily against Zach Wilson and the Jets last week, which doesn’t bode well for Miami in a matchup against a team with the talent of Minnesota. The Vikings haven’t been perfect by any means, but we still think they’re the right side in this matchup.
