Minnesota Vikings: 3 Bold predictions for Week 4 vs. Texans
1. Minnesota finally gets first win of the year
The final prediction for Minnesota that will take place on the road this weekend against Houston is that the Vikings will finally get their first win of the year while dropping the Texans to 0-4.
Not only would it be important for Minnesota to get into the win column for the first time this season already entering Week 4, but the Vikings need to right this ship before the season spirals out of control even further at the quarter mark of the schedule.
The Vikings are quickly falling behind the rest of the pack in the NFC North and the NFC and finally getting into the win column will be the first step in erasing that deficit from the rest of the teams in the division and conference.
Going into Week 4, Minnesota is the only winless team in the NFC North, trailing the Detroit Lions (1-2), Chicago Bears (3-0) and Green Bay Packers (3-0) leading the way. The Vikings are also one of four NFC teams yet to record a win, alongside the Atlanta Falcons (0-3), New York Giants (0-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (0-2-1).
This weekend on the road in Houston, Minnesota will be able to accomplish the first step in trying to get back into the mix of things both in the division and the conference standings, improving to 1-3 on the season.
