After a crazy first nine games of the season, we've got a few bold Minnesota Vikings predictions for the remainder of the 2023 campaign.
The Minnesota Vikings season didn’t go as planned in the first half, but they are a much different team as they head into the second half of the season.
A 1-3 start could have derailed the Vikings' hopes before they started. Justin Jefferson’s hamstring injury also threw a wrench into their plans before Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles in a win over the Green Bay Packers.
With several other players either underperforming or landing on the injured list, many thought Minnesota would be leaning into the opportunity to select a quarterback in next year’s draft. Instead, the Vikings are 5-4, locked into the final playoff spot in the NFC, and are looking to make a dark horse run in the second half.
All of these factors could make for an interesting stretch over the final eight games. In this article, we’ll make six bold predictions for the rest of the season and see if Minnesota can achieve their goals in the second half.
