Play: Point Spread: -3/-120 Minnesota Vikings
The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in Week 14 NFL action on Thursday Night Football. The Steelers come into this game fresh off a win over the Ravens but at 6-5-1 are still quite a ways back of Baltimore in the AFC North. Roethlisberger is not having a good season at all and retiring at the end of the season seems to be pretty much a lock.

The Vikings come into this game 5-7 on the season and somehow lost to the freaking Lions last week. Minnesota has been battling injury problems quite a bit this season and Dalvin Cook is pretty likely to sit this one out with a shoulder injury. Cousins looked solid statistically last week passing for two TDs and 340 yards and didn’t turn the ball over. Mattison looked very solid in the ground game so the absence of Cook might not be a huge deal. Defensively giving up 29 points to the Lions is NOT a good look and they are going to have to find a way to do better this week against a significantly better opponent. Take the Vikings at home to bounce back in a big way as our free pick in this game. Minnesota is a much better team than they showed against the Lions and regardless if Cook plays I think they will find a way to win this game.
