ESPN Has The Vikings As Division Winners
ESPN released an article giving 10 predictions for the NFL season, and they had the #Vikings winning the NFC North: “If the Vikings' defense remains a needle-moving unit, then a functional offense could return them to their 2024 status under QB Sam Darnold. Minnesota went 14-3 that year, losing the division in Week 17 to the Lions. It's unreasonable to expect another 14 wins in a division this tough, but Murray easily has the requisite talent to improve on Minnesota's 9-8 season in 2025.”

Middling QB play easily gets us to 11-12 wins assuming BFlo holds serve on D.

Creative maximizations? Dude, just say he made chicken salad out of chicken shit.
