NFL London Bowl – Steelers vs Vikings

Both the Steelers and Vikings are winless so far in the season; one of them will come back to the United States with a win in the record. Pittsburgh and Minnesota clash on Sunday at 1 PM ET at Wembley Stadium in London.

The only team that started the season 0-4 and made to the playoffs was the 1992 San Diego Chargers; that’s why this game is huge for both.

Minnesota is in London since Monday; Pittsburgh will get there on Friday.

“I value normalcy in the early portions of the week from a preparation standpoint and from a practice standpoint — use of our facilities, the comforts of home if you will,” Tomlin said. “It’s purely a business trip for me personally. This is just a road game for us. We are happy to represent the NFL in international play, but in terms of what it is that we are doing, our level of focus and the things that we need to do in preparation and in play, it’s just a road game for us.”

The Vikings are 0-3, but they were in every game they played, and could easily be 3-0.

“I feel like we have a mature bunch here,” said Adrian Peterson. “We’ve just got to stay confident. Stay confident and keep swinging, but swinging a lot better. I feel like we will approach it with that mindset and attitude, and we’ll be OK.”

Pittsburgh is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games, but even so they are 3 point favorite for the London contest. The line opened with a pick’em, but it moved three points because Vikings QB Christian Ponder is questionable for the match. The game total is set at 42.
