No easy games left
Denver....playing MUCH better now than the first half of the year, plus we're on the road (coin flip)
Chicago at home ...division games are never easy, but we should win this one
Raiders in Vegas... they’re playing inspired excellent defense under Antonio Pierce (Lean Vegas)
At Cincy….they're way better than us and we’re on the road. Likely a loss
Lions at Minny…they’re better, but divisional game at home (coin flip/slight lean to Det)
Packers at home…Love sucks. Kirk revenge game. Should win this one.
at detroit…depends on if Detroit has the division sealed up by this time. Though Campbell doesn’t seem the type to lay down to a division opponent on his home turf (likely a loss here)
At best i think we go 4-3 over the next few weeks, finish 10-7, make the playoffs as a wild card…andi guess we see what happens.
If the “coin flips and leans” dont go our way we go 2-5, finish 8-9, no playoffs and a 12-16 range draft pick.
we are not finishing 8-9
Seems like you might not be accounting for our lord and savior Josh DOBBS in these projections. 7-0
Um...you could also make an argument that there are no real hard games left too. No Eagles, no Chiefs, no 49ers.
The last month, we are playing as well as anyone. Not buying that Cincy is way better than us. Or even better than us. And in a week or two, we get the best wide receiver in the nfl back. Not just back, fully healthy and well rested.

As a 50 year Vikings fan I really don't recall an easy game.

right…I forgot…script has already been written:
Dobbs waited until he got to Minnesota to show off his super powers. He leads the Vikings to their first Super Bowl in franchise history. As he accepts the Super Bowl MVP trophy, his skin peels back to reveal he’s an actual alien and all that NASA shit was just an attempt to get back home.
Lights go out and the suits from nearby Area 51 show up to capture him. Cut to a sudden beam of light that comes through the ceiling of Allegiant Stadium. Josh Dobbs (or whatever his name is in Klingon) starts levetating towards a Spaceship now hovering over Allegiant stadium.
Dobbs ET’s the F outta here and Goodell overturns our Super Bowl victory due to extra terrestrial interference. That is until he realizes the opportunity to have the first ever interplanetary football game featuring the Vikings, ironically led by Kirk Cousins.

Better Space Jam sequel then the Lebron one for sure

and we all throw up
fixed it for you.....
Not only are there no easy games left, there are no easy games b4 either! :o
Never an easy game when you don't have your starting QB....or generational WRer......and injuries pile up. They've already accomplished a lot facing a ton of adversity. They won't win every game. Dobbs will throw an INT. The defense now is going to miss their heart, Jordan Hicks. The hits just keep coming.
Week to week.
While there are no easy games in the NFL, I also see the Vikings able to win out. Just like their opponents might not be an easy win, neither are the Vikings.

Yeah, the Hicks injury may affect us much more than JJ's did. Asamoah hasn't been healthy or showed much. Pace hasn't flashed nearly as much going against NFL starters as he did against backups.
Not sure I'd say Vegas is playing "inspired excellent" defense. They played the worst (11.8 ppg) and third worst (16 ppg) scoring teams in the league since Pierce took over.
I'd gently point out that Denver is playing better, but is still messy in offensive execution. Chicago is a dumpster fire, like Green Bay. The Raiders are playing better, but still are only about a moderate college team in terms of skill/execution.
Cincy...eh...I'm seeing them like Buffalo, in that you don't know if you're going to get a solid football team, or a cocky pile of players trying to outrun their mistakes.
Detroit...hmmm. Those games likely have the most meaning, so we're playing a divisional rival for playoff seeding, the division title, etc...
...and that's kind of what we want, right? Games with importance?

All of this. Especially this (bold). Been saying it for weeks.
Week....to......week. Enjoy the relevant wins. Enjoy the prime time lights the next 2 weeks. Don't worry, be happy.
8-9 looking more like a reality unfortunately.
