Before the Minnesota Vikings host the Denver Broncos in Week 11 on Sunday, here are three bold predictions for the Vikes at home.

After spending two games on the road, the Minnesota Vikings will return home in front of their fans on Sunday afternoon in Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season. Winning four of its last five contests, Minnesota will return back to US Bank Stadium to play host to an AFC opponent and the Denver Broncos.

The Vikings are coming into the game after taking down the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football, returning home after grabbing an important 31-26 victory at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

In that game, Minnesota jumped out to a large lead early on and was able to hold off Dallas late in the contest en route to taking down America’s Team on their home field on the national stage.

The Vikings have been rolling as of late and will look to keep that trend moving in the right direction this weekend against the Broncos at home, a stadium where the purple and gold are a perfect 4-0 up to this point in the year.

Minnesota comes into the game at 7-3 overall on the season, sitting in second place behind the Green Bay Packers (8-2 overall), who are on their bye in Week 11, for first place in the NFC North standings. The Vikings remain out in front of the Chicago Bears (4-5) and Detroit Lions (3-5-1) in the division.

On the other side of the field, Denver comes into the matchup in Minneapolis with a record of 3-6 overall after experiencing its bye week last weekend. The Broncos most recently defeated the Cleveland Browns in Week 9 of the regular season, but have lost two of their last three matchups coming into the 11th week of action.

Before the Vikings host the Broncos on Sunday afternoon in a matchup at US Bank Stadium, let’s make three bold predictions that will take place in the game for Minnesota.
