1. Drew Brees throws for three touchdowns

2018 has been great to Drew Brees. He got a new contract, became the NFL’s all-time passing yard leader, just beat every team in the NFL and threw his 500th touchdowns pass. To say this season has been incredible would be an understatement. That being said, he’s going to keep the ball rolling or should I say throwing…against the Vikings.

Despite the challenge posed in Week 7, Brees came out on top. He finished the game with two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Ravens defense is one of the best in the league and so are the Minnesota Vikings. Regardless, they haven’t been able to stop Brees and I don’t see that happening on Sunday night.

I predict Drew Brees will finish the game with at least three touchdowns. In their last meeting, Brees finished with three touchdowns, albeit also with two interceptions. It wasn’t great but he’s proved himself in the face of adversity.

Every time the Saints have been down this season, Brees has helped the team come back and make an effort. Hopefully, they won’t be playing from behind against the Vikings. Either way, Brees is poised to have an excellent game against Minnesota.
