Our offense will roll them, not a doubt in my mind.

Will we stop an awesome ground attack? That's what worries me, if I had a worry.

Dead on.  I was going to call this the "Ok, Lou" game.  In other words:  "Ok, Lou...our offense can put up points, can you slow down Dalvin Cook?".  You know Zimmer will be wanting to test their run defense, and they aren't afraid to let Cook have a ton of touches.  If they can keep him in check early, and force Cousins to throw on 2nd and 3rd and long situations, it bodes very well for the Bengals.  

I also think Mixon might have a bit of a chip on his shoulder for this one.  If you remember, the Bengals traded the #41 overall pick to the Vikings, who selected Cook.  The Bengals got Mixon at #48.   Mixon has no one to blame but himself for sliding a bit, but I can still imagine he wants to prove the Vikings wrong.
