The next 4 games after the Bye week

[JR44]

Chargers on the road in a game that should have a very large Viking contingency at the game needs to be a win and then we have to get one of other 3, seems like we have always play the Eagles on the road so glad we finally get them at home. If Jackson is back for our game with the Ravens, he is a terrible matchup for our defense, we will need to score a lot of points in that game and the Lions game to have a shot.

Chargers just lost their prized rookie RB to a high ankle sprain. Doubt he's back for our matchup.

That significantly weakens their offense if you can cover their WRs.

I would 100% prefer THC to alcohol. Retired in MN!

My vape is pharmaceutical grade now that MN has legalized the stuff...A little indica some nights or a nice hybrid blend when you dont want to get tired. I cant imagine slamming 6 beers anymore. Its just not for me.

Yeah, I hit the local dispensary for gummies, vape and a joint or two as we have a friend who only partakes in joint form so I keep around a few prerolls for when he comes over. I like the Indica/Sativa hybrids. I drink wine, usually a Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley (my fave). Vodka/lemonade for the hot days by the pool. Beer very rarely, although I like a good hoppy IPA from Funky Buddha or Barrel of Monks (south Florida breweries) when we go out sometimes as a changeup.

The way injuries consume this league, it’s darn near impossible to look too far ahead. So, naturally, we will look a month into the future for the NFC North.

Shield your eyes, Vikings fans. 

The Packers and Bears have already had their bye weeks. The Vikings get theirs in Week 6 while the Lions have theirs in Week 8.

Let’s now rank the tasks over the next month from tallest to shortest:

1, Vikings: BYE, Philadelphia (4-1), at LA Chargers (3-2), at Detroit (4-1).
That’s three teams with a combined 11-4 record, two on the road and one on a short week (Thursday nighter in L.A.). They do, however, get a mini bye before playing at Detroit.

2, Lions: At Kansas City (2-3), Tampa Bay (4-1), BYE, Minnesota (3-2).
Three teams with a 9-6 record, but two at home.

3, Packers: Cincinnati (2-3), at Arizona (2-3), at Pittsburgh (3-1), Carolina (2-3).
The Bengals might be the second-worst team behind the Jets. And the Cardinals defeat themselves even at home.

4, Bears: At Washington (3-2), New Orleans (1-4), at Baltimore (1-4), at Cincinnati (2-3).
A combined record of 7-13. (And keep an eye out for the Hail Mary in Washington this time, fellas).
