Vikings 2022 Schedule

If accurate I am surprised that they don't have a bye after London 

I assumed the bye week was going to be right after the London game...

In Chicago and Green Bay at end of December/early January. JFC. 

First six look fairly easy, middle six is a little tougher, final six even easier than the first six. Not a brutal schedule for the first time in years. 

If all goes well, I'll be watching the Pats play the Vikings on Thanksgiving night from a patio bar in Playa Del Carmen.

Yup, that's tough...Regardless of records. 

Am I crazy but do I see 12 wins on this schedule?  

I have a hard time believing we would lose game 1 vs GB, love the fact that we don't have back to back road games vs top teams, play in Chicago when they will have nothing to play for year end.  

IF we beat Philly in Philly, I see us no worse than 5-1 by the bye.

Yeah, it's easy to be optimistic about the season with this schedule. There are always surprises though. Cincy looked like an easy outing last year. They sure as hell weren't. Same with Tampa the year before. Both teams ended those seasons in the Super Bowl. Colts could be a team like that. So could Detroit. 

What I keep coming back to is that there are only four QBs to fear on this schedule: Rodgers, Dak, Allen and Murray. The rest are either crap, young or both. 

• Bills at Lions, 12:30 p.m. ET (CBS) 
• Giants at Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET (Fox) 
• Patriots at Vikings, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)

The Vikings seem to be on a lot of nationally televised games this year.

I've read that the oversea teams can choose to have their bye week after that game or not. There was speculation that a lot of teams would choose "not" because it's so early in the year.

Green Bay Game in Week 1 is at 4:25 pm Eastern.

Time to start picking the now annual pilgrimage to Minnesota for a Vikings home game. If I stick to the same schedule I did last year, that means I'd go to the Cowboys game and take Thanksgiving week off. I could work with that.

We play the Packers on New Years Day and the Patriots on Thanksgiving Day...Finally get to see the Vikings more than a few times a year down here in Arizona...

For the first time in their 62-year history, the Vikings will host a game on Thanksgiving Day.

That's a whole lotta weird in one schedule.

3 division home games in first 5, then finishing with consecutive division road games.
5 home games in 6 weeks  weeks 11-16
London and Thanksgiving in the same year?
Of course, play the Cards just after DeAndre Hopkins is back from suspension.

This is what stood out to me. From November 14th to January 1, the Vikings get on a plane just once. Talk about home for the holidays.

Everyone get their post meal naps in before the night game....

Was thinking that for the first time in a long time, the Vikings don't have a couple west coast to east coast jaunts on their schedule, but it's even better than that....

The farthest west the Vikings play regular season football in 2022 is...

U.S. Bank Stadium.
