Texans at Vikings picks: We vote 3-0 for Vikings’ 3-0 start
Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s home game against the Houston Texans:
DANE MIZUTANI >
Vikings 31, Texans 27: The world is starting to learn what former USC head coach Clay Helton knew all along. Sam Darnold is that dude. Though some are waiting for the other shoe to drop for the Vikings, maybe it’s time to lean into Darnold and his career renaissance.
JOHN SHIPLEY >
Vikings 22, Texans 16: The Texans won’t be the best team the Vikings play all year, and Minnesota truly believes it’s for real. At this point, not picking against that.
CHARLEY WALTERS >
Vikings 24, Texans 21: You beat the 49ers at home, you’ll beat the Texans at home. Vikings rooters can now get legitimately excited.
