Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction – NFL Dublin Betting Tips
All eyes will be on Croke Park on Sunday afternoon as the first regular-season NFL contest takes place in Ireland, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings clashing in Dublin.
The Steelers are one of the best supported teams in the National Football League and one would imagine that the majority of the crowd will be backing Pittsburgh to prevail in this contest.
Here, I take a look through the latest sports betting odds on the contest before making a Vikings v Steelers prediction ahead of Sunday’s afternoon kick-off.
Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers Odds:
Punters can bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings at William Hill and here is the current state of the market:
- Minnesota Vikings – 8/11
- Pittsburgh Steelers – 11/10
While the Steelers are the designated home team, the Vikings are favourites with the bookmakers and it’s easy to see why. Minnesota and Pittsburgh both boast 2-1 records but the NFC North side have had a tougher start to the season.
Pittsburgh Steelers v Minnesota Vikings Best Bets:
- Over 43.5 points – 11/10
- Each team over 2 touchdowns – BOOSTED to 5/1 (from 7/2)
The Vikings ran riot against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, putting 48 points on the board. Carson Wentz is a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and this could easily turn into a shootout between him and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers has taken control of the Pittsburgh offence and the Steelers have benefited greatly with him under center. The one blemish on their record this season came against a defensively astute Seattle Seahawks team.
The NFL International Games can be cagey at times but these two teams could buck the trend. Let’s hope for plenty of touchdowns at Croke Park on Sunday afternoon and viewers may be treated to an exhilarating encounter.
