The upcoming game between the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks on Sunday promises to be a tough test, especially for Minnesota. The Seahawks are rolling at home and the Vikings are coping with key injuries and a shaky quarterback situation. Those factors have made Seattle a heavy favorite, but there are no sure things in the NFL. Before kickoff from the Pacific Northwest, you will find my Vikings vs Seahawks prediction ahead of this matchup.

Key Storylines
- The Seahawks enter at 8–3 overall and 3-2 at home. They have been excellent defensively this year and that has given their offense some margin for error when needed. Seattle’s defense is expected to shine in this game against a backup quarterback.
- The Vikings are 4–7 and are limping into Seattle with major concerns. Starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy is out. That clears the way for rookie Max Brosmer to make his first NFL start. That is a rough ask in hostile territory and the Vikings could struggle on offense in this game.
- This game is the first for Sam Darnold against the Vikings as a member of the Seahawks. Darnold helped the Vikings get to the playoffs last season despite McCarthy being their intended starting quarterback and McCarthy getting injured. Darnold will likely want to show the Vikings what they are missing by playing well here.
- The crowd at Lumen Field will be loud and the Seahawks defense can force turnovers and control the trenches, increasing the difficulty for a first-time starting quarterback.
Quarterback Play
For Seattle, Sam Darnold is coming off a bounce‑back performance where he led the Seahawks to 30 points against the Tennessee Titans. He’s getting more comfortable in the Seahawks system and has weapons to attack downfield. If the Vikings’ defense is hamstrung due to struggles from Brosmer, Darnold could carve them up late.
On Minnesota’s side, Max Brosmer goes from practice squad quarterback to starting under center. He had solid college numbers with a 66.5 % completion rate, 2,828 yards, 18 TDs, and 6 INTs in his final collegiate season. Translating that to the NFL at Lumen Field will be a steep climb.
Betting Trends
- Seattle is 8–3 against the spread this season.
- Minnesota is 4–7 against the spread going into Week 13.
- Both teams have gone over the total in 7 of their first 11 games during the 2025 NFL season.
Vikings vs Seahawks Model Projection
Score Projection: Seattle 30 – Minnesota 13
Win Probability: Seattle 88%, Minnesota 12%
Final Thoughts
The quarterback situation in this game should prevent the Vikings from being truly competitive in this contest. Brosmer will endure some growing pains in his first pro start and the Seahawks should win big. I’m going to lay the points with Seattle in what should be a lopsided game from Lumen Field.
