Vikings Record Predictions

Oh man....

I'm thinking 9 is the floor
11 is the ceiling

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....

This....except I think 12 can be the ceiling

hell with it 14-3 number 1 seed   vikings 31- ravens 27 last game of the season just not saying that games name

IF

JJ throws for 3600 27 TDs and 15 picks Viking will be 12-5

IF

JJ Throws for 3000 22 td and 17 picks Vikings will be 9-8 with Max starting the final couple games

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.

14 wins followed by a first round exit 

Gee that seems familiar... ;)

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.

11-5-1

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.

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.

10 - 7, possible Widcard

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

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"

Agreed, good, smart takes...

Norris is a very tough division to call. I wouldn't bet my own $ on it, maybe yours.

To me the biggest question marks are Detroit and MN...GB is pretty loaded, Good QB, didnt appear to have much roster turnover. Added Parsons.

Detroit had the brain drain and OL erosion (on paper)

MN has a big quesiton mark at QB, how well will new players mesh? Will the back-end of the D hold-up their end of the bargain???
