The Vikings and Saints travel to London, each with potentially serious holes in the line-up due to injuries. The Vikings will have Cousins at QB, and he could be the difference maker today. We could see a bounce-back game from Jefferson but Cousins has plenty of targets if the Saints key on JJ as other teams have lately. The Saints have a huge butcher's bill and could be down to Dalton at QB. Even if Winston plays there are huge questions around his performances lately, with a 79 average passer rating and more interceptions than TDs to date. Both top running backs are questionable for Sunday.

On defense, neither team has excelled. The Vikings have given up yards but not points, the Saints have been the reverse. The Saints to date have been weaker against the run, and don't pressure the passer effectively. The Vikings O-line has protected Cousins well, and not so for the Saints.

I am on the Vikings today. They have fared well in London in previous games. I expect them to win and cover on Sunday.
