The Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos face off on Saturday in an NFL preseason game at the Empower Field at Mile High. When these two teams faced off in August of 2021 it was Denver that secured the 33-6 victory.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have Kirk Cousins under center for the regular season, but they made a big trade for a quarterback this season. The Vikings traded for Nick Mullens and although that probably means he has a spot on the roster, I would still expect him to paly in this game. Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond are also competing for a roster spot.
So far this season the Vikings have lost to to the Las Vegas Raiders 26-20 and in the last game and the San Francisco 49ers they were defeated 17-7. In the last game the offfense looked awful, and was probably the reason for a trade for another quarterback.
Kellen Mond completed 10 of his 20 passes for 82 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. Sean Mannion also completed 10 of his 15 passes for 65 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Denver Broncos
On the other side of this matchup is the Denver Broncos who made the trade for Russell Wilson this offseason, but I wouldn’t expect him to play in this game. In the first game of the preseason, the Broncos beat the Dallas Cowboys 17-7 and in the last game they were defeated by the Bills 42-15.
Brett Rypien completed 22 of his 26 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown. It has already been announced that he will be starting in this game. Josh Johnson also completed 8 of his 16 passes for 70 yards.

4* Free Week 3 NFL Betting Prediction: Broncos -3.5
I don’t expect a whole lot of offense being played in this game by either team. The Vikings offense has struggled to move the ball this preseason and it’s not going to be different here. The Broncos are also going to struggle to score against the Vikings defense and the under is going to cash.
