Chris Halicke (1-2): The atmosphere at Croke Park is going to be something I've never experienced and I cannot wait for it. But, that's about as exciting as it gets for me. I don't like this matchup for the Steelers. They can't run the ball against two-high looks, which is terrible in and of itself, and the Vikings lead the league in two-high safeties. I also think Carson Wentz is more than capable of spreading the ball to dangerous weapons, though I think the Steelers' pass rush is trending upward. I just don't see the offense getting things done here. Maybe after the bye week. Vikings, 27-19
Matt Williamson (2-1): This game should be a blast. But, in the end, I think the Vikings are just playing noticeably better fundamental football on both offense and defense than the Steelers are right now. That being said, I don't trust Wentz and maybe a little luck of the Irish goes the Steelers way once again. Vikings, 24-20
