Vikings vs. Raiders preview and predictions

Record: 6-6

Justin Jefferson finally returns to the Vikings offense, and both fans and the team hope his return injects some life into an offense that has been rather listless the last two weeks. Jefferson has been out for more than a month and will likely have to kick off some rust. He also likely hasn’t had much time to develop a rapport with either Josh Dobbs or Nick Mullens, which may cause the offense to be slow out of the gates.

Once again, Minnesota may have to rely on the defense to give them a spark. If they can force Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell into a mistake or two, and if the offense can kick off the rust and gel, they should be able to come away with a victory.
