Quarterback Kirk Cousins gets another chance to impress his critics as he leads the Minnesota Vikings on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Kirk Cousins is playing some of the best football of his career, but if the Vikings lose this game, the critics will no doubt be out.

So how will Cousins fair and can shut the critics up? Let's breakdown 3 bold predictions for his game against the Seahawks.

3. Completes 75 percent of his passes

Even when Cousins has struggled he does a good job of keeping his completion percentage high. On the season Cousins is completing 70.6 percent of his passes and in his last game against the Dallas Broncos, he completed 82.9 percent of his passes.

In this game, especially early some short easy passes should be expected, which is going to pad his completion percentage. Look for Cousins to complete at least 75 percent of his passes.

2. Diggs and Cousins connect for 150 yards

It's unclear at this point if Adam Thielen is going to play, but if he does that means Cousins and Stefon Diggs are going to have a big game.

Remember last game against the Broncos when all were on Diggs trying to take him away? He still finished with five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown.

If Thielen is back he is going to take some of the attention off of Diggs and he is going to have an even bigger game. Look for Cousins to hit Diggs for at least 150 yards receiving and at least one touchdown.

1. Outperforms his last primetime game

Kirk Cousins just played a primetime game a couple of weeks ago the Dallas Cowboys and he was impressive throwing for 220 yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys defense isn't the best in the NFL but they are strong which makes what he did against them even more impressive.

The Seahawks passing defense hasn't been good giving up 268.7 yards per game through the air which is 29th in the NFL.

Look for Cousins to be slinging the ball everywhere, and with an aggressive gameplan, he should be in line for a big game. Look for cousins to finish with more than 220 yards and throw for at least two touchdowns. Cousins haters will try to find something negative to take way from this game, but it's going to be very hard to find.
