The Vikings should start to consider the type of talent they have on the roster and start to figure out the depth chart. However, the thing that is going to really help the Vikings out is exploring the running game and the health of Dalvin Cook. Cook suffered a torn ACL in the season last year.
Defensively the Vikings were strong last year and did not really look challenged. However, the Vikings are a team that has quite a bit of experience and they did end up getting some problems that could be concerning with the secondary as several players have to come back from injury this year. If the secondary comes back solid it will definitely help the Vikings chances of locking down a win here.

With the Saints it can really look like a team that can really build up a big game here. The Saints have a great offense and that can definitely help the team out quite a bit. What else helps the Saints out is the experience of the offense under Brees and how well he is able to play in the preseason. What else can help the Saints out is the fact that Alvin Kamara has been a great runner and should be able to continue to play great here.
One aspect of the defense that the Saints have to work on is the passing defense. It was one of the worst rated defenses against the pass. The one thing that the Saints defense did great was stuff the run and that should not really change in this game here as the Saints did not really lose a lot of the talent on the year.
