The' Minnesota Vikings become the last team to get the 2022 preseason underway when they travel to play the Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday at Allegient Stadium. The game will be televised on NFL Network and in the home markets. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Vikings vs. Raiders, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
It’s unclear whether the Vikings had any intention of playing Kirk Cousins, but that point was rendered moot when the quarterback tested positive for Covid. He won’t be making the trip which will give the team a chance to get a long look at QBs Kellen Mond and Sean Mannion — both of whom are viewed as potentially not being on the final roster if a better backup becomes available.
The Raiders didn’t play any of their starters in the Hall of Fame Game — a 27-11 blowout win over Jacksonville. The extra game shouldn’t change things too much and it wouldn’t be surprising to see nothing but backups in this game as new coaches Josh McDaniels and Kevin O’Connell try to figure out the back end of their rosters.
