The Minnesota Vikings (12-4) travel to Chicago to take on the Bears (3-13) at 1:00 pm (EST) at Soldier Field. The Vikings are a 7.5-point favorite and are given a 86.2% chance to win according to ESPN’s FPI. This game is not really important. The Vikings have a chance at the two seed, but would need the 49ers to lose to the Cardinals, so they are likely locked in at the three spots vs. the Giants. The Bears have a chance for the number one pick but would need Houston to beat Indianapolis. With that let’s take a look at…

While the Gophers win 28-20 over Syracuse was great, it had its downside. Mohamed Ibrahim’s career has come to an end. While he hasn’t offcially declared for the 2023 NFL draft, it is likely to happen soon. Ibrahim has gone out as the greatest running back at the University of Minnesota after breaking record-after-record this season. Coming Back From An Achilles Tear 2021 was looking like it could be a good year for the Gophers and started just like that. The Gophers faced #4 Ohio State to start the year and were giving them everything they had. They even led…

Well, that was just the Dallas game all over again. The Vikings again lost via a blowout 41-17. It was a rough day for Minnesota who just couldn’t get anything to go their way. To pair with some sloppy play, two injuries to the offensive line all but summed up the game. The Vikings are now looking at a three seed in the playoffs and would host the Giants as of right now. With that, let’s take a look at my Minnesota Vikings week 17 takeaways. Just Not Their Day Yeah, that’s an understatement. Things just couldn’t go the Vikings…

The Minnesota Vikings (12-3) travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers (7-8) at 4:25 pm (EST) at Lambeau Field. The Packers are a 3-point favorite and are given a 57.4% chance to win according to ESPN’s FPI. The Vikings and Packers first played in week 1 and it set the tone for both team’s seasons. The Vikings won the battle in a semi-dominant fashion 23-7 and it has led them to a 12-3 start and an NFC north title. The Packers on the other hand have struggled badly at points, but have fought back and have a chance…

So far this year it seems that no one has been able to figure out what the Minnesota Vikings are. Many have called them fraudulent even at 12-3 with some top tier wins. Few have claimed they are for real and can contend for a Super Bowl, and a really bad loss to Dallas doesn’t help their case. The one thing that I’ve noticed though is that this team has grit and a fight to them. They don’t give up, as seen so many times this season. I see them as the most dangerous team in the NFL (which I…

The Vikings are just so fun to watch aren’t they? This team continues to find ways to fight and win, and today was no exception. The Vikings got up 10-0 before trailing 13-10 going into the fourth quarter. Hockenson and Jefferson both caught touchdowns to put them up 24-16. Saquon Barkley then ran it in for a 27 yard TD before Kirk Cousins lead another of his game winning drives ending with Greg Joseph kicking a 61-yard walk-off field goal to win 27-24. With that, let’s take a look at my Minnesota Vikings week 16 takeaways. Vikings Historic Season Keeps…

New York The New York Giants are coming off of a big Sunday night win over their NFC east rival Washington Commanders 20-12. It was a big win for the Giants…

Well, I don’t know about other Vikings fans, but I went through a range of emotions during that epic comeback. The Vikings pulled off the largest comeback in NFL history, rallying from 33-0 at the half to outscoring the Colts 39-3 in the second half and overtime to win 39-36. Many Vikings fans will be the first to admit that it was not a pretty game, but almost every fan will be okay with a game like that as long as they get the win. The Vikings also clinched the NFC north for the first time since 2017. With that,…

With that, let’s take a look at the Indianapolis vs. Minnesota matchup. Indianapolis The Colts come into Saturday’s matchup off their bye week. A much needed one at that, as they’ve lost six of their last seven games, including their last one in a 54-19…

The Vikings had a rough trip to Detroit losing 34-23 to the surging Lions (6-7). Minnesota missed a prime opportunity to clinch the NFC north, now having to wait another week to have a chance to claim the division title. The Vikings defense was horrific today. Pair that with some poor play calling decisions and a non-existent run game and it’ll lead to a loss that even Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson can’t overcome. With that, let’s take a look at my Minnesota Vikings week 14 takeaways. Bad Playcalling In Key Situations And Officiating Okay, the actual penalties and stuff…
