Vikings at Raiders picks: What happens in Vegas belongs in the win column
Pioneer Press sports writers who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s game in Las Vegas against the Raiders:
DANE MIZUTANI
Vikings 28, Raiders 24
Justin Jefferson is finally back and that means everything will come easier on offense. That should be enough for the Vikings to beat the Raiders.
JOHN SHIPLEY
Raiders 20, Vikings 17
What was it that Soul II Soul said? Back to life, back to reality. That little win streak was fun, but it wasn’t real.
CHARLEY WALTERS
Vikings 21, Raiders 20
Vikings QB Josh Dobbs gets to have WR Justin Jefferson in his arsenal for the first time. That should be enough unless Dobbs turns in a clunker.
