The Minnesota Vikings head on the road in week 1 to play the St. Louis Rams at Edward Jones Stadium. I’d like to mention that Cappers Picks will be providing free NFL picks all season, so come back.
The Minnesota Vikings won 5 games last season and it is going to be hard to improve on that total this season. Overall I think this team is poised to get to a more competitive level in the near future but with their top pick at QB not quite ready for prime time it will be at least another season before improvement shows up in the form of wins and losses.

The Vikings surprised everyone in 2012 by going 10-6 and earning a Wild Card spot, then followed up by barley staggering to a 5-10-1 record in 2013, just enough for last place in the NFC North.
Without a doubt this franchise needs a quarterback. Drafting in the 8 spot they should have a chance to get one of the top prospects at the position but so far it has not been clear in which way they might be leaning.
Detroit frittered away every chance to assure a playoff spot and now the final week of the season against Minnesota is totally meaningless…and it looks like their coach is likely to be fired.
The Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in an inter-conference clash. The Bengals are coming off a woeful loss to the Steelers in front of a national audience on Sunday night, while the Vikings picked up an impressive win over the Eagles, 48-30.
With their win over Detroit in the snow last week the Philadelphia Eagles are in the pole position in the NFC East right now just ahead of Dallas.
Last week the Bears and the Lions stumbled but with the Lions already having a win in the bag on Thanksgiving it is on the Bears to try and keep pace in the NFC North.
The Green Bay Packers are reeling without Aaron Rodgers, and now face a divisional foe in the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Seahawks Welcome Vikings in Mismatch of the Week in the NFL
The Seattle Seahawks proved last week why they are considered the best team in the NFC with their shellacking of the Falcons in Atlanta. Now they return home where they are nearly invincible to take on the Minnesota Vikings, a team that looked decent themselves last week when they recorded only their second win of the season.
Washington Continues March Toward .500 – Visit Lowly Vikings Thursday Night
The Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings meet on Thursday Night Football in a matchup of teams that made the playoffs last year and but struggling to maintain credibility half way through this NFL season.
The Minnesota Vikings arrive in Arlington on Sunday, desperate for a win after losing three straight to take on Cowboys team that is barely clinging to first place in the NFC East.
Packers look to Add to Vikings Woes
The Josh Freeman experiment will continue for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night when they welcome the surging but injury depleted Green Bay Packers to town.
Vikings Visit Giants in Battle of the Basement Monday Night
The NFL schedule makers can’t predict the future and if they could they likely wouldn’t have two teams with a combined 1 win on the season battling on Monday Night Football. That’s why they play the games (I hate that saying!!!).
***(Write-up assumes…AP plays —- with the terrible news we’ve learned Friday)
Both of these teams have struggled so far this season, especially Minnesota who made the playoffs last year and has been totally flat all season long. The trouble has been at the quarterback spot which is why they acquired Josh Freeman after he was jettisoned by the Bucs…anything is an improvement over Christian Ponder.
