Former coach Mike Zimmer and new coach Kevin O’Connell have left, but this Vikings Team remains largely unchanged. Will O’Connell and new offensive coordinator Wes Phillips take the team to the next level?

Inside the Viking Office: B-
The big story for the off-season Vikings was a complete system change. After two consecutive losing seasons, general manager Rick Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer have been replaced by younger leaders in Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell. These moves were all about changing Viking culture through a flow of collaboration, analytics, and a more modern approach. Interestingly, this did not lead to a significant difference in seasons from a menu building perspective. The Vikings refused to hit the reset button, instead opting to prepare for what they thought would be a season of playoff competition. They extended Kirk Cousins again, made free agency by signing Smith, and added or retained several other veterans in positions of need. They obviously think this list is ready to win at a high level now. O’Connell brought Wes Phillips with him from the Rams to be offensive coordinator and appointed respected veteran coach Ed Donatell to be his DC. Cinema And the Son’s booth. You should help renovate high school to become beginners. – Will Ragatz

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins He had another underrated season in 2021, passing for 4,221 yards and 33 touchdowns in heavy attack and ending up as the sixth highest-grossing quarterback in the PFF. Would he benefit from having a new head coach throwing force in early relegation spells? Matthew Stafford He definitely took a step forward in that offensive scheme last season, and Cousins can be said to have good playmakers like Stafford at wide receivers. Justin Jefferson And the Adam Thelin.
Jefferson continues to break records, posting the most receiving yards (3,016) in a player’s first two seasons in NFL history. Jefferson recorded 108 catches and 1,616 yards in 2021, and the 23-year-old still has the potential to improve.
Quarterback Props Series: Scrolling Yards | pass TD | Brady | Herbert | aline
Thielen may be getting older but he shouldn’t be fired. Thielen could continue to see a lot of goals because defenses will worry about stopping Jefferson. Thielen’s 70.5% catch rate was the best in the Minnesota receivers, and tied 10 times with Jefferson – Thielen reached that mark in just 13 games.
dolphin cook He’s still a threat on Earth, even if he misses time due to injury, and Alexander Mattison It proved to be more than just a capable backup.
It looks like the Minnesota offensive could get the job done, but can the defense keep up? Former Packer Zadarius Smith is sure to be a major factor. PFF ranked Minnesota State’s defensive line as the 12th best next season – before Invoices and behind ponies. He finished last year in 21st place.
If defense and attack can fire at the same time, then the Vikings definitely look like a rival. But can they? Let’s check matches.
Starting with NFC North, the Vikings will face both PackersAnd the bear And the black twice. I expect the Vikings will split with the packs. Minnesota wins the season opener at home while Aaron Rodgers And the crew will probably be a slow start without Davant AdamsBy the end of the season, the Packers will be able to easily beat the Vikings in the frozen tundra of the Lambo Field in Week 17.
The Vikings could easily overwhelm bears and lions this year, but I’d only give them three from that game as well. My total is at four now.
Running Back Props Series: Rushing Yarsds | rushing TD | Jonathan Taylor | Christian McCaffrey | Austin Eckler | Nagy Harris
Other NFC encounters include Road vs. games the EaglesAnd the saints And the leaders. The Vikings must defeat the leaders, while the Vultures and Saints are more difficult road games. I’ll give them one more here for a total of five.
Continuing with NFC, Vikings hosts a file basicsAnd the Cowboys And the giants.
I’ll give them the Giants and Cowboys games for a total of seven.
This year’s AFC matches include dolphinsInvoices , patriotsAnd the Planes And the ponies. The Vikings should have no problem defeating the Jets and quarterbacks in the second year Zach Wilson. twa and dolphins, Josh Allen and bills and Matt Ryan The competition will be tougher between the ponies, but I will give them one of the three and a total of nine.
As excited as I am about the Vikings for my fantasy team, I am less optimistic about their overall win. Yes, the NFC North looks like an easy division this year, but the Lions can be sneaky and the rest of the table definitely isn’t a cake-shaped outing.
Although it is difficult to turn down the extra money, I prefer to bet on individual players rather than bet on the sum of the winnings.
Bet: Under 9.5 Wins (-133)
