Minnesota Vikings at Pittsburgh Steelers Preview & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as they win the first ever regular season game in Ireland.

The Vikings; offense can lean on Jordan Mason against a bad Steelers run defense, while the Brian Flores-led defense keeps Aaron Rodgers & Co. in check.

  • Minnesota Vikings are 1-0 away from US Bank Stadium this season
  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-2-0 ATS so far this season
  • Minnesota Vikings are 4-0 in International Series games
  • The Under has cashed in 6 of the last 8 NFL games played in Europe

Head To Head

  • Minnesota Vikings lead the all-time series 10-9
  • Minnesota Vikings won 36-28 when the two teams last met in December 2021

Minnesota Vikings Form

Minnesota head to Ireland on the back of their biggest win of the season so far, which improved their record to 2-1.

The Vikings opened the season with a stunning fourth quarterback fightback to beat the Bears in Chicago on Monday Night Football, 22-6.

They struggled in their home opener a week later though, as the offense stalled in a 22-6 defeat to Atlanta.

JJ McCarthy suffered an injury that sidelined him for last weekend’s meeting with Cincinnati, and with Carson Wentz at the controls Minnesota stormed to a 48-10 win over the Bengals.

The Vikings will now look to maintain a perfect International Series record that has seen them go 4-0 overseas, including a 34-27 win over Pittsburgh in London in 2013.

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh cross the Atlantic looking to build on last weekend’s victory, which took their record to 2-1 too.

The Steelers enjoyed a winning start to the season as they got the better of the New York Jets in a shootout, winning 34-32 at MetLife Stadium.

They failed to back that up in their home opener though, as they were beaten 31-17 by Seattle.

Pittsburgh did issue an immediate response however, as they forced a bunch of takeaways in a 21-14 victory in New England last time out.

The Steelers will now seek to make it back-to-back victories and win for the first time on foreign soil, with their previous overseas outing ending a defeat to Minnesota in 2013.

Verdict

Pittsburgh won at the weekend, but the matter in which they did it is unsustainable.

Minnesota are expected to give them a heavy dose of Mason and lean on their own defense to get the job done in Ireland.
