The Seattle Seahawks (8-6) take on the Minnesota Vikings (12-2) for Week 16 at Lumen Field. Take a look at what local and national media are predicting for Sunday's game. Click here to learn how to watch, listen, and stream the action.
Seth Walder, ESPN: Seahawks 26, Vikings 20
"Bold prediction: Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will throw at least two interceptions. Though the Vikings beat the Bears easily last week, Darnold struggled at times with accuracy and posted a negative-4% completion percentage over expectation, per NFL Next Gen Stats."
Tyler Dragon, USA Today: Vikings 25, Seahawks 21
"Geno Smith is banged up after a blowout loss to Green Bay. It doesn't get any easier for Seattle as they face another top NFC North club. Justin Jefferson showed Randy Moss some love in Week 15. Look for Jefferson to have another Moss tribute in the end zone."
Jordan Mendoza, USA Today: Vikings 23, Seahawks 16
"Geno Smith's health is a big thing to watch this week. Minnesota is firing on all cylinders and they take care of business regardless of who is under center."
Bill Bender, Sporting News: Vikings 31, Seahawks 19
"Geno Smith (knee) left the Week 15 loss to the Packers, and if he cannot go, then Sam Howell will face the Vikings, one of eight NFL teams with 40-plus sacks. Minnesota is 3-1 ATS when favored by four points or more, and Sam Darnold continues to be the hot hand."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Vikings 30, Seahawks 21
"The Seahawks might not have quarterback Geno Smith in this game. If he does play with that injured ankle, he will be limited. That matters against a good, aggressive Vikings defense. Sam Darnold will get back on track after a so-so showing last week as Minnesota keeps pushing to the top seed."
