Do the experts believe that the Minnesota Vikings or Baltimore Ravens will walk away with a win at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, October 22, 2017?

The Minnesota Vikings are 4-2 headed into Week 7 of the 2017 NFL season. Their opponent on Sunday, October 22, 2017 is the Baltimore Ravens, who currently lead the all-time head-to-head series 3-2.

A struggling Ravens offense will be tested against one of the toughest defenses in the league while Minnesota’s offense has been flowing through a passing game led by Case Keenum, Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, and Jerick McKinnon.

But the big question is which team will be victorious. Here are who some of the biggest media experts are choosing in Week 7 according to their respective websites:

Picking the Vikings

  • Bleacher Report – Chris Simms: “There are too many questions with the Ravens. The offense has been inconsistent, and the defense is banged up.”  Score Prediction: Vikings 20, Ravens 13
  •  CBS Sports – Pete Prisco: “The Vikings are playing good defense, which is a bad thing for a Ravens offense that isn’t skilled. This should be a low-scoring affair, but Minnesota will find a way to win at home thanks to the defense.” Score Prediction: Vikings 17, Ravens 13
  • FanSided – Matt Verderame: “Neither the Ravens (3-3) or Vikings (4-2) have an offense, but Minnesota should stifle Joe Flacco, who needs to be benched in the worst way.” Score Prediction: Vikings 20, Ravens 13
  • NFL.com – Elliot Harrison: “the key to this matchup will be if the Ravens horrid offense can get any movement on the Vikes defensive unit.” Score Prediction: Vikings 20, Ravens 13
  • Pro Football Talk – Mike Florio: “This time around, the Vikings have balance and the home-field advantage — along with an opportunity to hit the bye at 6-2.”  Score Prediction: Vikings 30, Ravens 20
  • Pro Football Talk – Michael David Smith: “The Ravens offense has been a mess, and Joe Flacco is primarily to blame. I don’t see any reason to think he’ll improve against a good Vikings defense.”  Score Prediction: Vikings 20, Ravens 13
