The Minnesota Vikings have a big test in Week 3 when the Seattle Seahawks come to town, but this is a game the purple and gold can win.

It hasn’t been easy for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Both of their games played this season went down to the final moments and the team just couldn’t find a way to get enough done to escape with the win.

A familiar opponent is on the schedule for Week 3 and that’s not really a good thing. Lately, the Seattle Seahawks have been dominant over the Vikings but Minnesota is hoping that will change with this game at U.S. Bank Stadium.

It would be easy to think that Seattle will beat Minnesota for the eighth consecutive time on Sunday. However, there are some reasons to believe that the Vikings will get their first win over Seattle since 2009.

Let’s take a look at three great reasons the Minnesota Vikings will beat the Seattle Seahawks. Sure, they are the underdogs in this contest, but there are some great reasons to believe this will be the week the purple and gold get their first win.
