Week #1 the Vikings wont be able to handle Dexter Lawrence, and Thibodeaux and Burns..Week #2 Bosa/Hargrave and the the Niners D line were in the Super bowl and will crush Darnold,,Week #3 Hunter and Anderson will overrun the hapless Vikings...week #4 Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary will dominate ( soon to be pumpkin ) Darnold ....Ok this is getting boring now..

[@deeznutzz8882]

Boy you have 0 superbowls that’s why people doubt yall.

[@Premiere_Emcee]

PREAAACCHHHH!!!!!

[@longdistance4379]

One day Vikings will win a Superbowl 😊

[@Chopper67]

@@deeznutzz8882 I don't understand your response. Maybe I missed it in their analysis but, I didn't hear them say total Super Bowls is the reason they were picking a team. If it were, it would seem like a odd statistic to consider when trying to predict a winner. If that's the case, maybe they should stop picking Buffalo.

[@NJPackerfan65]

Everyone know Kenny Clark eats Bradburrys breakfast every matchup and Gary and Preston smith have had success against the Vikings tackles

[@teemoncrief618]

Vikings win all day respect what koc doing with darnold too Skol

[@tedsexton5406]

If you are holding the Dec 31st game with such gravity, it would be intelligent to consider who was out with injury and who was healthy. On a similar point, I believe the Vikings have six completely new players on defense, so system aside, many of the pieces are different. The rational of "Vikings play good early, but teams figure them out." Is a little too simplistic.

[@cesarmeza5331]

It happened to flores while he was in Miami every year.

[@cptflx]

Remind who was the Vikings QB last year during week 17...

[@cesarmeza5331]

Was the QB playing Safety or something 😂

[@tkuebler9561]

A Hall / Mullens hybrid.

[@ronnierodriguez1422]

Same guy that had a good 2 game streak and all you fans where hyped till they face GB lol delusional fans

[@donhelley976]

Lefleur vs Flores is the French flower vs. the Spanish flower . . .

[@tkuebler9561]

The Sam Darnold 3-0 2021 start is the laziest take ever... and just fake news. The three wins in 2021 were against Jets (Rookie Z. Wilson), Saints (J. Winston), and Texans ( Rookie Davis Mills)... or the dregs of the NFL. Also Panthers 2021 O-Line was ranked 31st in the league, coaching was bottom 1/4 of the league and receiving weapons were bottom half of the league. 2024 Vikings are arguably top five in coaching, receiving weapons, and defense, while the O-Line is top ten. Also in 2021 Darnold did not get his 8th passing TD until week 17... 2024 8th passing TD in week 3. Also in 2021 CMC went out injured for the Panthers as the 3-0 start ended. It is just patently asinine to compare the two starts.

[@aarondougherty236]

28-13 Vikings

[@Pnw208]

I’m super happy for Darnold! I feel bad for these top QBs every year that go to the worst organizations in the league. They have 3-4 head coaches and or Offensive Coordinators in their first 4 years. Usually the roster sucks. Especially the teams that give up the future picks to move up. Their confidence gets ruined and most never recover. I’m glad Sam finally figured it out. And I’m happy to see Arron jones killing! I wish the packers kept him they could have paid him….

[@whodeani2216]

F the packers

[@EarthlingAlex]

They didn’t mention Jared Hall was Minnesota’s Qb in the game they lost, giving up field position.

[@williamhermann6635]

Cant blame Jared Hall for the defense getting destroyed.

[@chuckness5372]

The Packers will be dominated by the Vikings Purple Haze defense. Can someone please tell me who the Packers have beaten??? They got destroyed by the now 5th place Eagles, but beat the hapless 24th ranked Colts and the dead last place Titans. Sorry, but the stats built up by the Pack, were built on two bad teams. The Packers are a paper tiger, based on padded stats against pathetic teams. vikings will destroy them, and I personally think it will be coaching malpractice if the coach puts Love in the game against the Vikings Purple Haze defense. This is not a must win for the Pack. They need to keep Jordan away from this game. Then start him next week, so he can live to play another day. Vikings 30-10.

[@godschild6511]

These two idiots failed to realize that the Vikings Defense this year, play fast, pass rushers and Dline men are lightening fast compared to last year.

[@tkuebler9561]

Against GB in the second 2023 game... the Vikings played approximately 40 to 50% of the game with one CB on the field... A. Evans played 100% of the Def snaps, M. Blackmon played 50%, and A. Booth played 11%... and those were the only CB's to play on defensive snaps. Pretty sure Gilmore, Griffin, and Murphy as the CB's... is way better.

[@williamhermann6635]

Lol go watch the Packers playoff win vs the Cowboys to see what they did to Gillmore. Absolutely abused him.

[@BradleySteffan]

How about the fact that vikings didnt have qb in week 17.

[@hwnfrd]

All of the predictions rgarding the Vikings are made mostly on previous seasons not on what is currently happening. It's like saying back in the 70s gas was .45 a gallon, what good is that going to do me now?

[@tkuebler9561]

Exactly... 2021 stats / record on a completely different team / roster / coaching / opponents... is relevant in 2024 how?

[@George_L-w7o]

Packers are way overrated. This has Viking blowout win written all over this

[@williamhermann6635]

Ya'll have Sam "seeing ghosts" Darnold at qb and want to call the Packers overrated?

[@George_L-w7o]

Dude. You beat the colts and titans. You lost to Philly. Way overrated. You lose by double digit this week. The Vikings are football‘s version of the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team. Bet them and go to sleep. This is a layup.

[@williamhermann6635]

@@George_L-w7o This is also the same team who was 60 seconds from the NFC Championship Game who then added a new DC, Josh Jacobs, Xavier Mckinney, and 5 top 100 draft picks. Lets not pretend Packers are a bunch of scrubs. Layup? Get a grip bro.

[@elessar_aragorn]

Couple things about Darnold in Carolina in 2021 compared to this season. First, Carolina was a bad team in 2021 with bad coaching. Second, Carolina had an easy slate the first three games, then lost Christian McCaffrey and played the Cowboys and Eagles. Not too tough to see why Darnold declined after three weeks in 2021. This season with the Vikings, Darnold has a good team around him and good coaching. And he's already done well against two tough opponents in the 9ers and Texans. Also not buying into early season Flores vs. late season Flores. Last season, the Bucs had answers for Flores' scheme week one and were very effective. The reason Flores' defense went downhill later in the season was due to injuries- particularly in the secondary. Also, Flores' scheme last season was a lot different than this year's scheme. Last year he played relatively standard Cover-2 based zone behind the Cover-0 presnap look. This year he is playing innovative zone and is mixing in some man coverage (Flores played almost all zone last season) that is more difficult for OCs and QBs to figure out. And even watching the tape, you still don't know what you're going to get. Flores is a Belichick-style, week-to-week game planner and isn't afraid to change things up. And he's got better players at all three levels this year to work with.

Vikings skol

[@jamalbuckley3235]

Why they acting like KOC hasnt been cooking on the offensive side too. Both Coaches for the Vikings are cooking

[@tkuebler9561]

Sam Darnold was 24 years old in 2021... wouldn't it be prudent to assume that his game has improved as he enters his early prime as a 27 year old NFL QB... especially as his coaching has improved 100%, over the past two seasons?

[@DJDonkeytron]

This is not last year's Vikings DEF. Not even close. Starting them for the 3rd straight week in fantasy. SKOL Vikes!

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

While it hasn't always resulted in wins in the past, I feel like Lafluer does his best coaching when there are important injuries to the team. GB did well even when Davante was hurt. GB was competitive last year even with half the cap hurt on the bench. Now he is 2-0 with a backup QB.

[@NickyTesla]

Against 2 quarterbacks who will be benched before the end of the season.

[@Erik_Ice_Fang]

@@NickyTesla possibly. They weren't good teams. But there are plenty of other teams that would have lost with their backups. Look at Miami. Or the Bears, who couldn't beat the colts even with their starter

[@Premiere_Emcee]

GB played the titans, colts..😂😂😂😂 bruh stop

[@rrsmith30]

@@Premiere_Emcee stop it. The 49ers are 1-2 and the Texans barely beat the Colts when they were fully healthy. If we’re résumé thumping, start with your own.

[@turbo_lander7301]

Last year late the Vikings Offense had no QB and so the Defense was on the field way more.

[@coreyrobertson9332]

Packers ran up the gut agianst the Titans and wasted drives. Still not sold on La Fluer. Panics in tough spots and waste time outs. This one is on the coaches

[@BradleySteffan]

Its a lot better situation in minnesota. This is not the panther. He has the best wr in the league paired with a great number 2 in addison and a great rb in jones.
