Extremely early Vikings game-by-game 2022 record prediction
By Adam Patrick
Week 11
Dallas Cowboys (Home)
- Date: Sunday, November 20
- Time: 3:25 p.m. CT
- TV: CBS
After spending three of their previous four games on the road, the Vikings get to return home for a fun matchup with the Cowboys inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
Minnesota’s last win over Dallas was in 2019, but oddly enough, the Vikings haven’t earned a home victory over the Cowboys since the 2010 season.
Minnesota will snap that streak in 2022 when they find a way to defeat Dallas to get a much-needed win.
Prediction: Vikings win (6-4)
Week 12
New England Patriots (Home)
- Date: Thursday, November 24 (Thanksgiving)
- Time: 7:20 p.m. CT
- TV: NBC
This season, the Vikings will be playing in a game on Thanksgiving for the first time since the 2017 campaign.
In that matchup, Minnesota got a win over the Lions. This time, the Vikings will be hosting the Patriots for a holiday showdown inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
With Bill Belichick as their head coach, New England is 5-1 against Minnesota, with the Vikings’ last win coming in 2000. Belichick’s success against the purple and gold will, unfortunately, continue in 2022.
Prediction: Vikings lose (6-5)
