Home Sweet Home
At the moment, the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated at home. They are 4-0 at U.S. Bank Stadium including three division wins and, of course, the latest win over the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.
Although the rest of their division games will be on the road, starting out 3-0 against those NFC North rivals should give Minnesota a mental advantage heading into the second half of the season.
The Vikings have five more games scheduled at home this season compared to five on the road, meaning that if Minnesota can keep winning at home they would finish the season with an an11-6 record.
There is something different about this team when they play in front of fans in their home stadium. Expect the trend to continue against the Cowboys, Patriots, Jets, Colts, and Giants in the upcoming weeks.
