Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the New York Giants in Week 5 NFL action. It is a game that the Vikings have to win after dropping to 2-2 last week against the Chicago Bears. They are also getting a great opportunity to tune the drama out and start focusing on getting back on track.
While the Vikings have a lot of talent on their roster, especially on the offensive side of the football, they have not been playing up to expectations this season. Cousins has received a ton of harsh criticism and he will need to turn things around as soon as possible to shut down the outside noise.
All of that being said, let's dive in and take a look at three bold predictions for the Vikings offense in Week 5 against the Giants.
3. Dalvin Cook Will Rack Up Another 100 Yards And A Touchdown
First up, the Vikings have been dominating opponents on the ground for the most part this season. Last week was a different story against a brutal Chicago defense, but Dalvin Cook has been a monster.
Through four weeks, Cook has carried the football 71 times for 410 yards and five touchdowns. He has also caught 15 passes for 114 yards. Minnesota will see Cook have another big game this week against New York and will rush for another 100 yards and score a touchdown, although his trip to the end zone may not be on the ground.
2. Kirk Cousins Throws for Four Touchdowns, No Interceptions
The man who has taken the majority of the blame for the Vikings' struggles this season has been Kirk Cousins. Fans in Minnesota are on the verge of running him out of town.
Cousins, however, still has full confidence in himself and is ready to get things turned in the right direction this week. He will put up big-time numbers against a weak New York defense. When everything is said and done, he will throw for four touchdowns and will not throw an interception.
1. Adam Thielen Comes Through with 125 Yards, Two Touchdowns
One major key for the Vikings will be to get Adam Thielen going. He was vocal about his disappointment with the offense last week and the team is going to look to get him involved this week.
Thielen is going to respond with a big game, racking up 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Stefon Diggs isn't a sure bet to play this week after the drama that has surrounding him. Despite his star partner having some issues, Thielen will break out with the game fans have been waiting to see.
