With the 2022 NFL regular season schedule being revealed, it’s time for some way-too-early predictions for the Minnesota Vikings.
Throughout the offseason, it has been mentioned that the team is in a win-now mode. That means it’s Super Bowl-or-bust after missing the playoffs in the last two consecutive seasons.
The Vikings have moved in correlation to that thought process by extending quarterback Kirk Cousins for another year, adding Za’Darius Smith in free agency and avoiding the urge to trade their top-tier talent for more draft assets.
It’ll be a tough road to turn the goal of winning a championship into reality with a Week 1 meeting with the Green Bay Packers right out of the gates. The team has also drawn meetings with a rapidly improving AFC East, including another legitimate Super Bowl contender in the Buffalo Bills.
The NFC East is on their schedule as well, and while they haven’t seen the same level of growth as their AFC counterpart, they have teams over there capable of giving the Vikings a tough out.
When the dust settles at the end of the season, what do you think the Vikings’ win-loss record will look like? Please let us know your thoughts in the poll above.
We’d also love to hear you follow up with why you feel so strongly about your prediction in the comments of our Facebook and Twitter pages.
