Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks prediction for Preseason Week 1
It is incredibly difficult to predict the outcome of any game during the preseason since both teams involved typically aren't even attempting to win the matchup. The focus is more on roster construction and figuring out which players are going to end up on each squad's final 53 for the 2023 regular season.
With that being said, the Vikings haven't won a preseason game with Kevin O'Connell as their head coach yet, as they lost all three of their exhibition matchups last summer. So until proven otherwise, it seems wise to go with whoever Minnesota's opponent is during the preseason.
Prediction: Seahawks win
