As the Vikings make their final preparations before the start of their 61st season, it’s time for season predictions, my sixth attempt at predicting the Vikings’ season outcome. Here are my past predictions:
2015
Prediction: 10-6. Actual: 11-5.
2016
No prediction after Bridgewater went down.
2017
Prediction: 12-4. Actual: 13-3.
2018
Prediction: 13-3. Actual: 8-7-1.
2019
Prediction: 11-5. Actual: 10-6.
2020
Prediction: 11-5. Actual: 7-9.
Last season’s prediction was off in large part due to the injuries suffered on defense, which was among the hardest hit units in the league, and had a big impact on the season results.
