- The Steelers are a 2.5-point neutral-site underdog against the Vikings.
- The Vikings have won each of their last six games against AFC opponents.
- My Steelers vs Vikings prediction is the Minnesota Vikings Moneyline (-150).
The NFL heads to Dublin this week as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.Â
Both teams captured wins in Week 3 to move to 2-1. The Vikings dominated Cincinnati in a 48-10 win that included a pair of defensive scores.Â
Pittsburgh won 21-14 in New England as short road favorites. Defense proved the difference as Mike Tomlin’s team forced five turnovers against Drake Maye.Â

Steelers vs. Vikings Prediction
Based on the Steelers’ defensive injuries and the team’s fluky win in Week 3, my Steelers vs Vikings prediction is the Minnesota Vikings Moneyline (-150).Â
Both teams arrive in Dublin off wins. The question then becomes which side occupies the sell spot following those victories.Â
Upon close examination of their games, Pittsburgh becomes the answer for bettors.Â
Minnesota produced the bigger edge, but still bested the Bengals 6.1-3.3 on yards per play. Pittsburgh lost 5.2-4.1 in New England and won solely because of turnovers.Â
The Steelers defense turned over New England not once but TWICE in their own end zone. Additionally, Pittsburgh recovered all four fumbles in the game.Â
That usually proves inconsistent week to week. If the Minnesota offense can avoid turnovers, it sets the team up well to exploit a sneaky bad Steelers defense.Â
Through three games, Pittsburgh ranks 24th in defensive DVOA, per ftnfantasy.com.Â
The team also ranks 28th in defensive success rate and 31st in defensive EPA per play on plays excluding turnovers, per rbsdm.com.Â
The Vikings also return Jordan Addison to the lineup on Sunday. That could further boost the offense against an injury-plagued Steelers secondary.Â
Both Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott could miss Sunday’s game. Those absences could present a problem against Addison and Justin Jefferson.Â
Finally, I worry about Pittsburgh’s offensive line in this game. Through three weeks, Pittsburgh ranks 31st in pass-block win rate, per ESPN.Â
Against a blitz-heavy Brian Flores defense, I expect a difficult outing for Aaron Rodgers. As a result, I like the Vikings to capture a second straight win.Â
