Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars:
DANE MIZUTANI
Vikings 27, Jaguars 10: This should be a blowout considering the Jaguars are an absolute dumpster fire. After getting back on track last week, the Vikings will keep it rolling this week.
JOHN SHIPLEY
Vikings 30, Jaguars 18: Yes, every given Sunday and all that, but the Vikings have done well against some good teams. Now, they have to beat a string of middling teams — I’m looking at you, Chicago — and run up that record for playoff position.
CHARLEY WALTERS
Vikings 31, Jaguars 17: It’s tough to win three straight games on the road in the NFL, even against inferior opponents, and this is the first of those three for the Vikings. But the Jaguars are in disarray.
