Miami Dolphins vs. Minnesota Vikings

The Dolphins have won the last three meetings between the two clubs including one game in Minnesota. Miami leads the all-time series 8-4 but the Vikings at this point are playing for a spot in the post-season while the Dolphins are playing to avoid the bottom of the division.

Miami is going to have a hard time stopping Davin Cook and Adam Thielen who has been fantastic so far this season for the Vikings after an impressive 2017. Now led by former Redskins QB Kirk Cousins, the Vikings are starting to get better at the right time. At least at the time of writing this. The Vikings do not have an easy schedule ahead for them but the Dolphins represent a game that they should win.

That will be the key. Will the Vikings look over the Dolphins as they stare ahead to a season finale against the Bears or will they attack Miami to better position themselves for a run to the post-season?

At the start of the season many had predicted that this game would be a win for the Dolphins and that does not seem to be a popular opinion now.

Prediction: Vikings 30 – Dolphins 21
