The Minnesota Vikings will have five primetime games and a division schedule in their favor, but what else can they expect in 2019?

The Minnesota Vikings 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday and now that they know who they’ll be playing and where and when they’ll be playing them, the path to a rebound season is in front of them.

While the NFL releases every team’s schedule at the same time, not all schedules are created equal and the Vikings are no different.

As previously revealed, the Vikings will be playing their divisional foes twice (one game at home and one game on the road against Green Bay, Detroit, and Chicago) as well as games against the AFC West and NFC East. The Vikings will also have games against conference opponents Seattle and Atlanta.

Overall, the Vikings schedule appears to be much easier than it was a year ago and with a couple of convenient patterns, things are set up for Minnesota to have a much better 2019.
