The Vikings vs Seahawks game starts at 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT today (Sunday, October 11).
It's on NBC, as week 5's installment of Sunday Night Football.
Sunday Night Football's Vikings vs Seahawks live stream should be one heck of a test for the former's fandom. This looks like one heck of a lopsided matchup.
The Seahawks are on a tear right now, and it doesn't seem like they'll stop soon. Not only are they undefeated so far this season, but they have handily beaten their opponents. (The closest score was a 35-30 victory over the Patriots.) The Seahawks have been averaging 35.5 points per game, led by the brilliant passing of quarterback Russel Wilson. He's already thrown 16 touchdowns this season alone and was named NFC offensive player of the month for September.

Even the best QB can't achieve much without good receivers, though, and the Seahawks have no shortage. DK Metcalf has 403 receiving yards, tying for best in the league, while Tyler Lockett has a still-impressive 298 yards. And those are just two of the eight receivers who have caught touchdown passes this season.
The Vikings are clearly coming into this match as the underdogs, with a 3-1 record. Oddsmakers have them down 7.5 points for the upcoming game against the Seahawks, and that may be generous. The Vikings have averaged nine fewer points per game than the Seahawks. But the Vikings' prospects may be better than they first appear. They have been playing better of late, losing to Tennessee by just a point two weeks ago and trouncing the Houston Texans by eight points last week. (The loss prompted the Texans to fire their head coach the following day.)
Conversely, the Seahawks are weak in defense. In fact, they rate dead last in the league in passing yards allowed. This opens an opportunity for Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, and he has a capable leading receiver in Justin Jefferson. With 348 receiving yards this season, Jefferson isn't far behind Seahawks rival DK Metcalf. The Vikings have a solid ground game, too, with considerably more rushing yards this season than the Seahawks (150.5 to 113.3 yards). The Vikings need to go all-out on offense to push their score higher, while wringing the most from their solid defensive line.
The Vikings will also have to deal with the psychological challenge. It's been a long time—11 years—since the Vikings beat the Seahawks. And it's been 14 years since they prevailed in Seattle, although the home-team advantage may mean less in a stadium emptied by COVID-19. Whatever happens, this match against the Seahawks will require that the Vikings bring their very best game. Although even that leaves victory as a longshot.
