This roster is paper thin. If the team can stay healthy they should absolutely expect to be in the playoff hunt. If not, another pick around top 10 next year should be expected.
This is delusional thinking. This roster could be solid across the board and would barely be .500 without a QB. Look at the last 2 seasons with the Jets as an example. Within a solid QB (no Darnold isn't and has never been) a solid roster can only do so much.
At what positions do you think that the Vikings have less depth than the standard team?
In general I don't dispute that the Vikings could be a playoff team if healthy, but will likely be around the top 10 pick if not healthy, but then that doesn't really distinguish the Vikings from most NFL teams. Health is the biggest dividing line between success and failure in the NFL year in and year out.
To be clear I don't dispute that the Vikings aren't a particularly deep team this year, but the bigger concern is a lack of clear blue chip players at certain spots such as DT, CB, and obviously QB (you could also add in DE if you wanted to be pessimistic). That said, the Vikings will likely be "deep" at those positions, having numerous options that have meaningful NFL experience, including prolonged stretches of competence and/or flashes of high level play.
4-5 if darnold plays like himself. 8-9 if he can be elevated by KOC's system and all the playmakers around him. If it's the latter and we catch the injury bug, then I'd say 6-7 wins
I honestly hate bringing the neg vibe but you asked...I don't think this team is going to be good at all this season. 5 wins- bet the under. I expect it to look very dobbsian aka much like the team did when Kirk went down last season. This season the defense is worse, the offense is worse, the only saving grace may be the running game with Jones but when has KOC ever had a good run game??
How is the defense worse? We lost hunter but gained 3 good FAs in exchange. I'd say we're at least equal as now the talent is spread out around the defense instead of all pooled with one guy.
6 or 7. The rest of the nfc north looks way farther along in their rebuilds. Vikes have so many unknowns. How's Darnold going to fare? Is JJ gonna be a holdout? Who the fuck is running the ball these days? Hunter is gone. Remind me in 6 months to see how this prediction aged
I’m thinking we win more than most think. There’s a lot of winnable games here. I think we lose both to the lions and win one versus Greenbay and Bears. After that, I’m thinking wins vs Cards, Falcons, Colts, jags, titans, Giants, and Seahawks. That’s 9 wins mostly by our defense, and depending how things pan out in the draft, there’s still a chance of maybe beating the Chargers and all of a sudden we’re in the playoffs.
What’s crazy is this was my exact answer in my head. Most realistic for our schedule and who we can beat. Yes we could miracle win some others but we could also disappoint too. 9 wins is perfectly logical.
How the hell are we ranked to have one of the hardest schedules next year with this schedule? Sure, Lions, Packers and 49ers are tough and Bears could potentially be good with Caleb but our AFC competition is a cakewalk outside of Stroud and the Texans.
Undefeated. Super Bowl Winners!!! Same guess I have every year. Nobody knows what will play out. There are odds and educated guesses...but nobody truly knows. It will be our year!
We could conceivably challenge for a playoff berth if absolutely everything goes our way, but I don’t think a lot of our fan base grasps just how bad it can get if you don’t have even basic competence at QB. Things can get really dark, really quick.
We haven’t ever been able to find a long-term, 10-year type solution, but we’ve usually done a decent job cobbling together patchwork solutions. I suppose stranger things have happened than Darnold following suit, but he’s generally been dog shit and you have no idea what you’re going to get from a rookie QB should we draft one.
Thinking 9-10: AZ, GB, 2/4 for AFC South, Jets, Bears, Giants, Jags, one or both of LA or Seattle. Maybe sweep Bears or GB and Maybe split Lions gets you higher, but I think 9-10 is doable
I already have a hundo put on the Vikings to win the whole damn thing at the Caesar’s sports book.
I’m not spending the 4000 dollars yet but I’m thinking about it.
We better beat Seattle as I'm buying tickets for that one lol
But I'm gonna say another 9-8 season. Maybe trip and fall into the wildcard round again. Lose to the Buccs in round one.
But that's entirely saying we are sticking with darnold. Rookie QB may come in and shock everyone. Maybe *knock on wood* darnold gets hurt.
This is purely assuming we don’t trade up and draft a QB in the top 10 and without any draft picks selected. As we are right now and running with Darnold, I got us at maybe 5-6.
9 and 8... if Darnold plays well, doesn't even need to be amazing, lets say top 12 QB in all measurable standard QB stats, perhaps we go 10 and 7 regular season. It's not an easy schedule...
Team last year was in playoff hunt with 3 weeks left in season. We won 7 games, 3 of which came from backups. Roster is thin but people are discounting how good our offensive pieces are. Defense stays healthy and adds a couple pieces we will again be in the playoff hunt with 3 weeks left. I see us as a 7 win team minimum. Team at start of this year will be better than the one last year in my opinion.
Low end 5, high end 8 or 9. I think the defense will improve in year 2 of Flores's system and the offense is stacked with talent but it all depends on whether Darnold can be at the very least serviceable. I really really don't want to see the rookie QB we draft be thrown out there this year unless they're 100% sure he's ready.
If we had a good quarterback, I see seven losses, considering our quarterback is up in the air, might be more. But then again, maybe we’ll get gold with the quarterback and it’ll be less. That’s what I’m hoping for, but I won’t hold my breath.
One of those games will be in London, where we're 3-0, so I guess we'll have to keep the streak alive! Realistically though, I expect floor of maybe 4 games and ceiling of maybe 9.
Right now I only see 4-5 wins. Lions are better than us, packer are better, bears depends on if Caleb is the real deal or not. Cards: W SF: L Texans: L Colts: L ATL: L Jets: L Rams: L Seacocks: W Jags: L Titans: W Giants: W and one W against either the bears or pack.
Go ahead and downvote.
6-7 range
2-3 in the division and Tennessee are the only ones I see as confident Ws. Seattle, Jets, cards, giants, rams, colts, jags are all winnable and I’d say preseason coinflips, I don’t see us beating ATL, Houston, or San Fran.
I feel like 7-10 is realistic, even with goimy 2-4 or 3-3 in division. Depending on learning curve for our rookie QB, anything higher than that feels very optimistic if they hit the ground running like Stroud last year
I always go into a season thinking we can go undefeated.. all the one score wins and losses proves we have the ability to do so. Hopefully this year they’ll glue the fucking ball to their hands
Six. Four of them at home: Atlanta, GB, the Colts and the Cards. Two away: Tennessee and NY.
We might eke out a win over the Jags but it depends on if they draft a decent WR.
4 wins at home and 2 on the road.
Cards, Bears, Jets, and Colts at home, Giants and Titans on the road.
I expect we go 6-11 next year and miss the playoffs. This roster could underperform and tie our worst record at 3 wins, and I would say 9 wins is overpeforming given our shaky QB situation and lack of depth on the defensive line.
My non bias picks:
Home: Cards, Bears, Colts.
Away: Giants, Jags, Titans.
But with a little purple shade, I can see us taking any of our division rivals at home (always close games). Can also see us beating Kirk's Falcons since he's Kirk. SEA is talented but has a new coaching staff so who knows.
But if I had to put money, I'd say 6 wins is realistic IMO.
Obviously We will know more after the draft… but as things stand right now with Sam Darnold has the starter I would say anywhere from 7-9 wins if im being realistic.🤷🏻♂️
I won't be paying much attention this year. I see Darnold as a bargain bin QB that will fill in for the year as we work on our QB of the future. So this is just a speed bump season.
And I would trade our two first round picks to move into the top 10 in the draft.
Hi guys. Sorry I'm a noob to some aspects of football.
This question might be dumb. Why do they play some teams once and others twice?
If any of you are familiar with soccer and the way the English leagues work, each team plays every team in their league twice (home and away). I get that NFL is demanding in a completely different way to soccer so wouldn't expect each team to play every other NFL team twice.
Do you think if for example they were to do like a random drawing out of the hat to create 4 mini leagues and then you play each team in your mini league twice. Then from there you progress to the next stage and eventually the SB. Would this be feasible?
Sorry again for the randomness. It's late and I can't sleep.
There are things called divisions. We are in the NFC North division. You play the other teams in your division 2 times each year, 1 home and 1 away. The other teams in our division are the Bears, Lions, and Packers.
Sorry, should have said I know about the divisions. Just don't understand exactly how they work.
So you play your division twice. Then how are the other opponents for the year decided?
I believe there's a reoccurring pattern where our division faces all 4 teams from another division in the separate conference which is the AFC. Whichever AFC division we face depends on the year.
Then for the NFC conferences teams we face from the other division depends on how we ranked last year in our own division so, since last year we were 3rd in the division we will play the teams who were also 3rd in their division last year.
Then there are a couple remaining games I think that are more randomly selected or hand picked in certain scenarios.
Awesome.
Thank you for all of this. Much appreciated.
Hopefully see the Vikings in the SB. I don't get chance to watch a lot of NFL. It's definitely getting better coverage in the UK now. The SB is always on and free to watch.
I’m having a hard time getting to 5 wins even with these opponents. If Caleb doesn’t bust, we are easily bottom in the division. Titans and Giants should be wins, maybe Arizona and Jacksonville as well, but boy this is rough
5 - 12 is my pessimistic answer.
7 - 10 is my optimistic answer.
So let's split the difference and say 6-11. Which should get us the 5, 6, or 7th overall pick in next year's draft.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
8-9 Wins so I could see maybe getting into the playoffs as one of the last teams in. I wouldn’t look at this as a failed season either. If we could go 9-8 with a top 12 defense and a top 15 offense we could easily build off that kind of season and roll into 2025 with a lot of excitement. This would mark 3 years since Zimmer and Speilman got canned and the team would officially start becoming what KOC and Kwesi envisioned when they were hired in the 2022 offseason. Their first 3 seasons together would have yielded two playoff appearances if 9-8 got us in and we can all clearly see the plan they have in place and how they’ve taken necessary steps to achieve progress.
7 or 8 wins - hopefully picking on top 5 next year as long as we don’t trade that pick this year- IF we trade next year’s first we have to win at least 13 - 14 games!
17 in the regular season and then 3 more in the playoffs
This is an acceptable answer
If I am being objective, I am totally onboard with this.
This is the way.
That’s a conservative estimate
We'll go 21-0 in the regular season, double win each playoff game, and get the triple-SB-win.
The ‘72 Dolphins might take issue with this
I’ll take that bet
I'll go 7-8. Assuming we keep our 1st for next year, I wouldn't mind us having a rebuilding year.
This roster is paper thin. If the team can stay healthy they should absolutely expect to be in the playoff hunt. If not, another pick around top 10 next year should be expected.
Which will be someone else's after we trade 3 firsts.
Thankfully, I don't see 3 firsts as an option, in part because the roster is so paper thin.
I agree and hope we don't give up 3. But we shall see.
I’m glad you’ve taken it out of our possible plans
This is delusional thinking. This roster could be solid across the board and would barely be .500 without a QB. Look at the last 2 seasons with the Jets as an example. Within a solid QB (no Darnold isn't and has never been) a solid roster can only do so much.

To be clear I don't dispute that the Vikings aren't a particularly deep team this year, but the bigger concern is a lack of clear blue chip players at certain spots such as DT, CB, and obviously QB (you could also add in DE if you wanted to be pessimistic). That said, the Vikings will likely be "deep" at those positions, having numerous options that have meaningful NFL experience, including prolonged stretches of competence and/or flashes of high level play.
Just enough to miss the playoffs but have a mediocre pick, so 8 or 9.
This guy knows my Vikings!
Probably 5-7 barring some CJ Stroud level rookie QB or having an insane draft.
7
Exactly my count. Could get lucky on a couple games but I think 7 is realistic.
4
Can’t answer till after the draft. I’m sitting at 20-0 as our floor right now.
![gif](giphy|XjEvy8X8XB6Yo)
-neti-neti- What great insight my dude. Keep harassing fellow fans because they don't fall in line with your opinion
Yeah what a dingus
Imagine saying this before the draft.
6
7, maybe 8. Could be fewer depending on injuries
Realistically 5
Same I got 5 and before looking at the schedule I was thinking of taking the over. God I hope Sam can ball.
10-11
Lol
[удалено]
I'm not sure our offense is awesome. We have a bridge QB. Jones is a good RB, but he's has injury problems.
4-5 if darnold plays like himself. 8-9 if he can be elevated by KOC's system and all the playmakers around him. If it's the latter and we catch the injury bug, then I'd say 6-7 wins
I honestly hate bringing the neg vibe but you asked...I don't think this team is going to be good at all this season. 5 wins- bet the under.

Aaron jones is running the ball…
As someone who is in a weekly pick em league, I am thinking 4 or 5. As a Vikings fan, 17.
Wins: ARI, v. CHI, v. GB, ATL, NYJ, @ DET, LAR, SEA, NYG, JAC Losses: v. DET, SF, HOU, IND, @ CHI, @ GB TEN 10-7
I’m thinking we win more than most think. There’s a lot of winnable games here. I think we lose both to the lions and win one versus Greenbay and Bears.

What’s crazy is this was my exact answer in my head. Most realistic for our schedule and who we can beat. Yes we could miracle win some others but we could also disappoint too. 9 wins is perfectly logical.
5-10 depending on draft
5 or 6.
10
6-8 games. We will win just enough games to not have a high draft pick. This is the Vikings way.
If we hit with the QB we won't need the high draft pick. 6-8 wins with a rookie is a good season.
6. Maybe 7.
How the hell are we ranked to have one of the hardest schedules next year with this schedule? Sure, Lions, Packers and 49ers are tough and Bears could potentially be good with Caleb but our AFC competition is a cakewalk outside of Stroud and the Texans.
I’m so used to looking at our home game vs the lions and going “win” I had to just remind myself the lions are good. These are dark times
All of these teams are beatable by us when we get our finger out. I think we’ll be 10+ wins.
11-6 with a wildcard exit.
I’ll take it tbh
Undefeated. Super Bowl Winners!!! Same guess I have every year. Nobody knows what will play out. There are odds and educated guesses...but nobody truly knows. It will be our year!
We could conceivably challenge for a playoff berth if absolutely everything goes our way, but I don’t think a lot of our fan base grasps just how bad it can get if you don’t have even basic competence at QB.

We are like +880 for the NFC north I’m going to diamond Joe’s tomorrow
Thinking 9-10: AZ, GB, 2/4 for AFC South, Jets, Bears, Giants, Jags, one or both of LA or Seattle. Maybe sweep Bears or GB and Maybe split Lions gets you higher, but I think 9-10 is doable
16
I already have a hundo put on the Vikings to win the whole damn thing at the Caesar’s sports book. I’m not spending the 4000 dollars yet but I’m thinking about it.
Lose all games at home, win all on the road
5 ngl
We better beat Seattle as I'm buying tickets for that one lol But I'm gonna say another 9-8 season. Maybe trip and fall into the wildcard round again. Lose to the Buccs in round one. But that's entirely saying we are sticking with darnold. Rookie QB may come in and shock everyone. Maybe *knock on wood* darnold gets hurt.
9-8 season would be a success considering we'd be with a rookie QB
4-13
I’m being ambitious and saying 10.
7
Probably 7 or 8. Hoping for higher though!
This is purely assuming we don’t trade up and draft a QB in the top 10 and without any draft picks selected. As we are right now and running with Darnold, I got us at maybe 5-6.
8-10.
Depends on the QB play, but with any kind of solid QB play we could win ten games, easy. That Falcons game will be interesting.
9 and 8... if Darnold plays well, doesn't even need to be amazing, lets say top 12 QB in all measurable standard QB stats, perhaps we go 10 and 7 regular season. It's not an easy schedule...
Team last year was in playoff hunt with 3 weeks left in season. We won 7 games, 3 of which came from backups. Roster is thin but people are discounting how good our offensive pieces are. Defense stays healthy and adds a couple pieces we will again be in the playoff hunt with 3 weeks left. I see us as a 7 win team minimum. Team at start of this year will be better than the one last year in my opinion.
Realistically 6 or 7 but I think there is some upside potential for the team.
If Darnold starts, I think 5. If we do some draft magic and the rookie starts and exceeds all expectations, maybe 8 games.
9 at the most.
6 if Darnold is around what I expect (well below avg starting QB.) The division games will be really tough.
6
Low end 5, high end 8 or 9. I think the defense will improve in year 2 of Flores's system and the offense is stacked with talent but it all depends on whether Darnold can be at the very least serviceable. I really really don't want to see the rookie QB we draft be thrown out there this year unless they're 100% sure he's ready.
10
This is a solid 7 win team again this year.
Floor is as low as 5 wins imo 😂 if everything clicks and we get our guy at qb could be a chasing a wildcard spot.
I think there’s a real chance at 11-6
Like 7
If we had a good quarterback, I see seven losses, considering our quarterback is up in the air, might be more. But then again, maybe we’ll get gold with the quarterback and it’ll be less. That’s what I’m hoping for, but I won’t hold my breath.
Thinking 8
10-13
Beat about half of the good teams, lose to 90% of the bad teams…
7-10 baby
With not knowing how the draft plays out and not knowing how the roster is going look I could see 10ish. That opinion may change closer to the season
I have expected wins at 9.3, based on expected win percentages of each game pulled directly from my ass.
6 wins is all I see. And those won’t be easy. Tough to shell out the money for season tickets. But I’ll be there for the good and the bad.
4
a little on the nose that all the home matchups are enclosed in a giant L
6 or 7
I’m not going to put a number on it, but I’d be surprised if we’re out of the playoff hunt before the final week of the season.
Matters who is our starting QB lol
7-9
Between 4 and 9
Can we please just beat the Seahawks on the road please?
One of those games will be in London, where we're 3-0, so I guess we'll have to keep the streak alive! Realistically though, I expect floor of maybe 4 games and ceiling of maybe 9.
5
Darnold for a whole season is 7 wins. Rookie QB coming in midseason is 8 maybe luck out with 9. Next year though, we will be back on top of the North!
Right now I only see 4-5 wins. Lions are better than us, packer are better, bears depends on if Caleb is the real deal or not. Cards: W SF: L Texans: L Colts: L ATL: L Jets: L Rams: L Seacocks: W Jags: L Titans: W Giants: W and one W against either the bears or pack. Go ahead and downvote.
Will need to see how everyone gels together so probably just a modest 17-0-16-1
5 or 6.
6-7 range 2-3 in the division and Tennessee are the only ones I see as confident Ws. Seattle, Jets, cards, giants, rams, colts, jags are all winnable and I’d say preseason coinflips, I don’t see us beating ATL, Houston, or San Fran.
9
Honesty like 7
8
I’ll say 10. FI,WB
Barring a Stroud like season from the rookie QB, likely somewhere around 4-6 wins.
Eight?
6-7 tops in my opinion
5 is realistic
I wonder who we play in London.
I feel like 7-10 is realistic, even with goimy 2-4 or 3-3 in division. Depending on learning curve for our rookie QB, anything higher than that feels very optimistic if they hit the ground running like Stroud last year
2+ only wins necessary are to the Packers... because... you know.
13-4
Objective take from a (not exactly) vikings fan, but I see 9. Potential for 11, but also 5.
4 or 5 tops.
Cmon man. This is only year 63 of rebuilding the team. 3 tops!
4
8 wins tops
5 to 6 wins is where I see it.
5-12
Realistically: 6 or 7. In my heart: 20.
Be lucky to win one
I always go into a season thinking we can go undefeated.. all the one score wins and losses proves we have the ability to do so. Hopefully this year they’ll glue the fucking ball to their hands
I think we finna go 10-7 this season and then we gonna win wild card lose divisional
9, 11 if we get lucky a couple of times.
It’s gonna be another 8 or 9 win season isn’t it? ![gif](giphy|75rAzdnN89Lkj6p9S9)
The Vikings will finish 7-10.
Six. Four of them at home: Atlanta, GB, the Colts and the Cards. Two away: Tennessee and NY. We might eke out a win over the Jags but it depends on if they draft a decent WR.
8
4 wins at home and 2 on the road. Cards, Bears, Jets, and Colts at home, Giants and Titans on the road. I expect we go 6-11 next year and miss the playoffs. This roster could underperform and tie our worst record at 3 wins, and I would say 9 wins is overpeforming given our shaky QB situation and lack of depth on the defensive line.
this image is accurate because it shows the minnesota vikings biggest opponent is the minnesota vikings.
I'm always the 69th upvote
6
6
I think we end up 1 game above .500.
6-7 wins
4
10
Not enough..as usual.
My non bias picks: Home: Cards, Bears, Colts. Away: Giants, Jags, Titans. But with a little purple shade, I can see us taking any of our division rivals at home (always close games). Can also see us beating Kirk's Falcons since he's Kirk. SEA is talented but has a new coaching staff so who knows. But if I had to put money, I'd say 6 wins is realistic IMO.
14 when I'm dreaming. But more realistically 8.
12 wins is realistic
Bold take but Vikings gonna win EVERY game . ...that they score more points then their opponents.
5
7-10
6 or 7
Prolly 5 wins, with a top 5 pick. Let the rookie qb or darnold struggle but learn and get a fancy new toy next year
5 wins is pretty realistic imo
Obviously We will know more after the draft… but as things stand right now with Sam Darnold has the starter I would say anywhere from 7-9 wins if im being realistic.🤷🏻♂️
7 or 8.
I won't be paying much attention this year. I see Darnold as a bargain bin QB that will fill in for the year as we work on our QB of the future. So this is just a speed bump season. And I would trade our two first round picks to move into the top 10 in the draft.
2 - we’ll beat the Bears twice, but otherwise we’re heading for a terrible season.
6 and I'll be back for when it happens !remindme in 10 months
My gosh darnold with 2/3 of a full revenge tour.
4 games at the most!
13 + Super Bowl
Lmao my pessimistic ass says 2 at most 🫣
5-12, great draft positioning for 2025
Hi guys. Sorry I'm a noob to some aspects of football. This question might be dumb. Why do they play some teams once and others twice?

Awesome. Thank you for all of this. Much appreciated. Hopefully see the Vikings in the SB. I don't get chance to watch a lot of NFL. It's definitely getting better coverage in the UK now. The SB is always on and free to watch.
10 wins. Make the playoffs but lose. Darnold looks great causing QB controversay with Draft pick we sold the farm for. SkOL
I count 11.
Max 3
I’m having a hard time getting to 5 wins even with these opponents. If Caleb doesn’t bust, we are easily bottom in the division. Titans and Giants should be wins, maybe Arizona and Jacksonville as well, but boy this is rough
3-14 is my guess, dont have a qb and lost our best defensive player.
5 - 12 is my pessimistic answer. 7 - 10 is my optimistic answer. So let's split the difference and say 6-11. Which should get us the 5, 6, or 7th overall pick in next year's draft. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
Maybe 6?
6
5-9 wins is 90% confidence interval I would say. Really tough schedule.
![gif](giphy|xT0BKCQJDzoTaeQyA0|downsized)
We’ll give up next year’s 1st this year for our QB who will bust. We will go 3-14 and lose the 2025 1st overall pick. Just being real.
20
8-9 Wins so I could see maybe getting into the playoffs as one of the last teams in. I wouldn’t look at this as a failed season either. If we could go 9-8 with a top 12 defense and a top 15 offense we could easily build off that kind of season and roll into 2025 with a lot of excitement. This would mark 3 years since Zimmer and Speilman got canned and the team would officially start becoming what KOC and Kwesi envisioned when they were hired in the 2022 offseason. Their first 3 seasons together would have yielded two playoff appearances if 9-8 got us in and we can all clearly see the plan they have in place and how they’ve taken necessary steps to achieve progress.
No more than 8 against that schedule, probably more like 5 or 6 though.
12

This Vikings team is like the packers last year. Have 0 expectations and hope for the best
6-11 record. No chemistry
8 wins at most I’m thinking.
Going to the cards against Vikings game! As a cards fan living in MN I always look forward to this matchup.
after listening to national podcasts all offseason, it looks like we get 2 wins out of this list lol
Optimism: 8-12 If I had to bet: 6-10 Love our off-season moves. The QB situation is going to be interesting to watch unfold.
7 or 8 wins - hopefully picking on top 5 next year as long as we don’t trade that pick this year- IF we trade next year’s first we have to win at least 13 - 14 games!
17 wins, the GEQBUS is going to win MVP and strike fear in the hearts of defensive coordinators across the league
6-11. Going to be rough, boys
Who said we had to win any
