Finally, it’s upon us. Week one of the NFL season. So, in what is probably their most pivotal season in recent memory, what’s your prediction for the Vikings record? Don't wait to see what they look like in Chicago. Man up. Make your call now.

I’m going to say 11-6. And despite losing three more games this year than last, I think the 2025 Vikings will be a team better equipped for a run deeper into the playoffs.

I think we win the division with 12-5 record. We may have some bumps early, the 2 overseas games and a young QB. But as MB sez, I think we see them gel, and make a deep run into the playoffs.

I'll go 13-4, division, then let's see how healthy we are in January....

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Max wouldnt sniff the field if those were his numbers. Brosmer is just the new Hieneke

10-12 wins feels like the sweet spot for me. 12-5 would be my official guess, because why live life pessimistically.

10 wins, wildcard and then the Vikings are the team nobody wants to play.

12-5

Last 2 games vs, GB week 17 and vs Det Week 18 will decide the division.

Allen, Hargrave, Fries, Jackson, Kelley and Mason will all prove to be upgrades.

Looking at what KOC has coaxed out of his roster two out of the last three years, it makes one wonder what he is capable of with a solid roster of both OL and DL.
Does JJM have a higher ceiling that Darnold? I believe so. I think we saw sudden Sam hit his ceiling the last few games of the season (definitely the last two...losses...but he was off for games 15 & 16 (less than 250 yards), in addition to that stinker against the Lions in week 18 where he had 166 yards).

I'll go with 12-5 and believe they could exceed that. However, if JJM lays an egg, all bets are off.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

I'm thinking 10-7.  Tougher schedule, lots of new players, how long till they mesh, lots players returning from injuries, how long till the recovering players are a full strength, redshirt QB, lots of positives here, but game gets real now.

lol, JJ won't be sitting at all this year no matter what his numbers are. I like Brosmer, but c'mon now....I like him in a future QB2 kind of way, not a starting QB kind of way.

This is pretty much where I’m at, unless JJM fulfills all prophesies, if so it’s another 14 win year.

I would love to see them replicate the year they had last year and finish stronger in the playoffs. That to me would be the best-case scenario. Worst case would include injuries to key players or JJM not being who I hope he is resulting in a losing record and I don't want to even consider that.

Ultimately it boils down to Jonathan Greenards message for the entire team for this season... "More is required"
