The Seahawks and Vikings are set to square off in a critical NFC game between the top two Wild Card contenders right now. With the game in Seattle, it should be a hotly-contested slugfest with the winner having an inside track to the playoffs and the losers on the outside looking in. Here are some interesting prop bets for the game.
5. Vikings Win by 14+ Points (+600)

I love me some long shot action. The Vikings are only 3 point underdogs, and most people will tell you they are the better team. This is Monday Night Football and MNF is rarely captivating anymore. Minnesota is due for a blowout, and if the Bears lose to the Rams on Sunday night, Thielen and crew will be pumped.
4. Vikings (+3.5) and the Over (45.5 Points) (+240)

Consider this: The same prop if the (favorite) Seahawks win pays +280, which makes little sense to me, and demonstrates the Vikings are truly the better team. This prop would make a nice partner with the Vikings blow out bet.
3. First TD Scorer, Russell Wilson (+1400)

Wison is always a threat to run it in, or maybe this week we see "Seattle Special" for the first time. Either way, Wilson will have the ball in his hands with a chance to score.
2. Chris Carson Scores a TD (+110)

You have to take the safe money, right? Carson is actually somewhat due for a TD -- he has just four on the season, all on the ground. He's had more targets lately than anytime this year, so this is a pretty solid bet.
1. Dalvin Cook Scores 3+ TDs (+6500)

The Vikings will want to control the clock and keep Wilson off the field. If you think like I do, that the Vikings are better, they can control this game and a quick early TD from Cook can pave the way to a Vikings win, and a huge payout for you.
