Hey - that works out to 6-10 as well. I think that's a little optimistic too, but hey...hope springs eternal, right? I'd really rather see them go 1-15 and draft Andrew Luck next year than go 6-10.

[Scott K]

I am going to give them the opertunity to pick up a few more draft picks before making a prediction. If they dont get some front line help, and some secondary help. 6-10 will be optimistic.

[JIvers]

I'm going to be optimistic, and say the Vikings go 7-9.

Basically, the McNabb deal will be just enough to cost them a higher draft pick.

[Big Tom]

4-12 followed by a move to L.A.

[Getanet]

All depends on what McNabb arrives in town. 6-10 sounds about right to me though.

Very nice of the NFL to schedule our Bye week the weekend of the Deer Hunting Opener for much of the state. I wish there was a way to make that happen every year!

[Superduty]

The nonconference schedule is not very tough. I can see 8 wins.

[Jarrid Houston]

Whats wrong with you guys....What happend to the fans! I for sure see the vikes getting close to a 10 win season. Although it will be competitive in our own division, doesnt mean the pack, bears and kitties will blow the vikes out. We always play tough football against these teams no matter what the personal is! Plus by getting Donnie, it is obvious that we are not giving up on right now as oppose to "rebuilding" and for that reason I am not giving up as a fan either ~ Go Vikes!

On a side note, I like when everyone under estimates the teams success, that seems to always trigger a "out of no-where season" We still have a decent team.......again GO VIKEs!!!!!!V-I-K-I-N-G-S!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PierBridge]

Vegas is going with 6.5 for the over under. It's the NFL so with a couple of breaks here or there we should be able to win 7 or 8 games if not it's 5 or 6.

I'll take the over 6.5

[Jarrid Houston]

Oh yeah, we will have a race for a play-off spot too...Count on it!

[paceman]

Purple Kool-aid drinker here. 11-5

[Jarrid Houston]

thats more like it! I like purple kool-aid, and fans that bleed the color!!!

8-8 and I'm being optimistic

[Bran32]

6-10, i just can't see anymore than 6 wins!!

[Getanet]

Hey, I think I'm going to do great every time I go out fishing too. But I'm a realist and if the wife wants to know what's for dinner she should probably start thawing some hamburger!

[Jarrid Houston]

Still got to be optomistic. When I go fishing, my plan is to catch lots and lots of fish. When I go to the casino, my plan is to win lots and lots of money, and when the vikes play, I plan on seeing them win win win! GO VIKES! I am thinking a 10-6 or 11-5 season...

[FISHINGURU]

Haha, so true.

I'm expecting an 8-8 / 9-7 type season with the chance to make playoffs. I wouldn't be shocked though if we won more, I'll be mad if we win any less lol.

From there anything can happen just like any team, a game breaking play or a little luck is all it takes sometimes.

Uhhh, what? Half of those non-conference games are against 2010 playoff teams. In fact, I think that the Vikings will be lucky to start any better than 0-4. They can't beat San Diego. The Bucs and the Chiefs were playoff teams last year and are both on the rise. The Lions are a team on the rise as well but have much better talent than the Vikings at this point. Those are four hard games for a team with new leaders at almost every offensive position (except AP) to win.

First win of the season might be against the Cardinals in Week 5 but both teams will have a 50/50 shot at winning. Just being a realist. Now, my gut tells me that the Vikings will get a win before going 0-4 but there's no logic that one could use to back up that statement.

[james_walleye]

Which NFL did u watch that the bucs were a playoff team.

[Born2Fish]

Don't care what the schedule says. Don't care who we play. Any team can win any Sunday. Call me a rube, tell me I am drinking too much purple kool aid. The Vikings will go at LEAST 10-6 this year. I think the defense will step it up this year and show us how they should of been last year. McNabb will do wonders with AP behind him and lead the Vikings to the playoffs.

[SkunkedAgain]

Good correction. Bucs are still a good team though and 10-6 was impressive for the third place team in the strongest NFC division in 2010.

[james_walleye]

I hear you. I had to think to because they were in the hunt right to week 17.

[ANYFISH2]

9-7/8-8,I think. The team is still talented on both sides of the ball. I refuse to think last year was anything more than an udder disaster from the start, not indicitive of the talent of the team. W@ith all the changes everyone is making this year it all a guess but we are better than we looked last year.

Division

Pack

Vikes

lions

Bears

[grasshopper]

I'm wtih ya. 10-6 or 12- 4

[soldoncass]

9-7 or 10-6...will be in the hunt for the division, with only one team going to the play-offs. The division is going to be brutal, every team can knock any other team off, on any given sunday. Key injuries could decide it....Vikes are tied with G.B. so far.

[Steve Foss]

Key injuries could decide it.

There is that. It takes a heckuva franchise to overcome key injuries and find success.

Best of luck to you guys this year. Well, maybe not the BEST of luck, but before the new season dawns and we get all wrapped up in the furball, just wanted to wish you well.

[RumRiverRat]

The nonconference schedule is not very tough. I can see 8 wins.

Where?

They will be lucky to win 5 maybe 6.

[MuleShack]

I'm going to say 7-9 this year.

We dont have the childress factor working against us.

Not sure what kind of offense Frasier and the boys are going to throw out there.

The defense looks decent, but no FAT PAT in the middle to clog things up.

Our reciving core could be decent, with williams, aromashedu and harvin.

Like foss said, injuries will probably decide things in the conference, but for us it will probably decide between 3rd and 4th

Go Vikes!

[soldoncass]

Vikes don't have any receivers named Williams, so not sure who you mean, but I think our receivers will be decent also. The catches will be spread out, so nobody will have a HUGE year.

I really expect a logjamb in the conference....7-9 to 10-6 range from bottom to top (bears or lions on bottom).
