The unbeaten Minnesota Vikings are huge favorites to move to 4-0 this Sunday, as they take on the 0-3 Miami Dolphins at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Vikes' early season success has been built on an elite tier D that has already racked up 14 sacks. On the other side of the ball, Minnesota's offense hasn't quite hit top form yet, but thanks to a +4 turnover differential, Justin Jefferson and co have been able to put up enough points to get the job done.
In contrast to the Vikings' excellent start, Miami have been way off the pace in their opening three games. New QB Malik Willis has struggled to build any rapport with this limited receiving corps, while the Dolphins' D looks severely lacking in top-level playmakers. There's a long way to go, but the Dolphins already look favorites to be first on the clock at next year's draft.

Our Minnesota Vikings vs Miami Dolphins Prediction
This looks like a complete mismatch between two sides moving in completely opposite directions. The Vikings have arguably the best defense in the entire NFL, and the Dolphins clearly have the most limited offense in football.
As such, it would be a surprise to see the Dolphins reach double figures on Sunday. And whilst Minnesota's offense isn't quite as impressive as their defense, they should have no trouble at all putting points on a severely limited Miami D.
Our prediction for Minnesota Vikings vs Miami Dolphins is: Vikings to win and under 38.5 points.
