@ Chiefs
@ Cowboys
Broncos
Bye Week
@ Seahawks
Lions
@ Chargers
GB
Bears

We're @ 6/2 now, I say 11/5.

5/3 in the back 1/2 of the season. 

Whether thats good enough to win the North or not I can't say with GB @ 1 loss. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Dunno, I am with vanguard.  If we play well in all phases we will be hard to beat.  KC and Cowboys on the road scare me.

undefeated at home, 10 wins
min. 2 road wins (KC, LA)

beauty of this season, our road games, our toughest games versus teams who cant stop the run (KC, Dallas, LA)

GB losses to us, San Fran, Detroit, Carolina

12-4, top two seed

@ Chiefs - LOSS
@ Cowboys - WIN
Broncos - WIN
Bye Week
@ Seahawks - LOSS
Lions - WIN
@ Chargers - WIN
GB - WIN
Bears - LOSS

I see us losing the hardest one, which is our finale against a Bears team that will need a win to stay in contention. I think Green Bay falls back down to earth and we'll take the North at 11-5, the Bears fighting hard and earning a wildcard against us that final week.

Another 6-2, baring injuries, seems quite doable...Seattle game and possibly the KC game are the hardest remaining roadies...

I have a hard time trusting this team; especially on the road.  I could see us losing the next two games, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikes won.  I'd be giddy, but not surprised.  I still don't know what we really have.
I like the offense, but I'm not very sure of the D.
I'll say 4-4 or 5-3, but hoping for 6-2 - SKOL!

The Vikings, right now, would only be the #6 seed in the NFC playoffs. The last team in, that's how strong the NFC is. Minnesota plays on the road at KC, Dallas and Seattle the next 3 of 4 weeks. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but things could go to shit quickly. Big stretch upcoming.

Before the season I said that this was an 11 win team, the Packers would be much improved, the Bears would take a step back and Detroit, while better than anyone thinks, is still Detroit. 

I think that still holds true. 5-3 the rest of the way. @KC, @Dal, @Sea, GB, Chi are five very tough matchups. Gotta love the schedule makers...we couldn't travel to DC and Denver and get two of KC, Dallas and Seattle at home?

Before the season started, I predicted a 10-6 record...I think I'll stick with that for the rest of the season.  Maybe, hopefully the Vikings can improve on that.
