Carolina finished 2nd in the South? Wow.

okay new prediction: 10-6.

Hope we can pull together more complete team efforts to win games. We have a strong core, and like I've said: We can compete with anyone in this league.

Holy crap that's tough...

I think we take a step back and go 9-7. We probably go 2-6 or 3-5 on the road.

I guess my prediction came too early.

I expect Dallas and Chicago to fall from relevance. The Cowboys are putting the pieces together, but I don't think they pull together as many close games. I don't trust them.

and Chicago wins because of their defense and Forte, and that Defense is getting old. If they don't bail out the offense on a consistent basis, Chicago is a 6-10 team.

Next year will be tough, but If we have another strong offseason, I think we can play with anyone.

Seattle away again? That's just frustrating because that can basically be chalked up to a loss considering how well they play at home and that the team has finally found an identity. The Vikings match up extremely well to the Seahawks but Seattle gets a major advantage because it is in Seattle.

Outside of drawing both Baltimore and Seattle on the road, that road schedule is not horrible at all. Dallas shouldn't be too hard to contend with at Cowboys stadium and if the Giants are still in their "light switch" mode then we could catch them on a bad week. I don't like that we eat a home game for playing Pittsburgh in London but that will likely be a nationally televised game to compensate for that. However, Pittsburgh has an elite QB, some good but aging defenders and nothing else really.

Overall, I really like this schedule. The Vikings could easily have another successful playoff run if they address their needs this offseason.
