Vikings vs Dolphins expert picks
Adam Kaufman: Vikings 27, Dolphins 13
The winless Dolphins have lost De'Von Achane for the season. Malik Willis now needs help from a backfield led by Ollie Gordon II, and moving the chains against Brian Flores' blitzing defense won't be easy. Minnesota is a heavy favorite for a reason, though there's one concern for anyone eyeing the Vikings in a survivor pool: Justin Jefferson's ankle. The offense hasn't reached 250 yards in any of its three games with him, and it struggled after he left Sunday's win in Tampa Bay. I still expect Minnesota to handle Miami at home. I'd feel a lot better about it if Jefferson plays.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz: Vikings 27, Dolphins 7
If ever there were a time for the Vikings' passing attack to break out, this might be it. Though Miami's
defense showed some much-needed resilience in Week 3 against the Chefs, the unit is the only group without a sack this season and still is saddled with a suspect secondary. And while Malik Willis showcased a quicker trigger to help get the Dolphins' offense going, he can't expect answers to materialize rapidly when he squares off against Brian Flores and a group that's sure to keep him guessing.
Nicholas Brinkerhoff: Vikings 23, Dolphins 3
Say a prayer for Malik Willis. Now say another one. The Vikings are going to tee off on the Dolphins' signal-caller, who is now forced to navigate an already overmatched offense without De'Von Achane. In other words, good luck. Brian Flores will be dialing up all kinds of blitzes and pressures against his former team, even if most of those players are gone. Minnesota leaves no doubt and obliterates Miami to send them to 0-4.
