This Week 1 preseason matchup features a pair of head coaches who have a lot to prove. On the Vikings’ side, rookie head coach Kevin O’Connell hopes to make an immediate impact in his debut game at the helm.
On the other side of the card, Josh McDaniels is in his first year as the bench boss of the Raiders — a role he hasn’t held since being fired by the Denver Broncos in 2010. Will he be able to keep things rolling after a convincing win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in last week’s HOF Game?
Here are our Vikings-Raiders NFL picks for preseason Week 1 (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook).
