Minnesota Vikings to face tough road ending on 2017 schedule

The Minnesota Vikings will close out the season with a very tough task at the end of their 2017 schedule.

Last year the Minnesota Vikings started the season red-hot. They will need to repeat that again this upcoming season. The 2017 schedule overall is not bad but ends with a tough test.

After the bye in week nine, the Vikings play five of their eight remaining games on the road. Out of those five, three are against playoff teams from last year. In addition, there is a three-week span of consecutive road games.

It is imperative that the Vikings reach a comfortable record during the first eight weeks of their season. If they can start at least 6-2 that will give them a little room for error. That way even if they manage to only win four more games, they will have a solid chance at making the playoffs at 10-6.

Lets take a look at the weeks 10-17 match ups on the Minnesota Vikings 2017 schedule.
