2. Tom Brady will rebound with over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns with an interception

The Minnesota defense is not very good and Tom Brady will be able to take advantage of it on Sunday. The Vikings rank in the bottom half of the NFL in most statistical categories and are giving up an average of 27.4 points per game.

Even though Minnesota has not been great at stopping opponents from getting into the end zone, they have been opportunistic with 17 takeaways. This includes 11 interceptions. The bye week most likely did not cure all of Brady’s woes and he will probably throw an early interception before getting going and taking over.

The Vikings have not been very good at creating sacks on quarterbacks this season and this will help Brady in his bounceback game. He will not feel as rushed as he has in the previous two weeks.

This will lead to fewer mental mistakes and turnovers for him. He will seem to be in more control of the offense and everyone will think the bye week was his magical solution on Monday morning.

The Vikings secondary will have trouble keeping up with all of Tampa Bay’s weapons and Brady’s lone turnover will seem inconsequential by the final buzzer.
