It’s the day before Week 7 in the NFL officially gets underway in earnest, and that means it’s also time to see who our crew of learned pro football blowhards are picking in this week’s action around the league. We’ve got our picks locked and loaded for this week, so let’s get to it.
First, we have our widget that will let you take a look at how everyone is performing the season. You can look at each individual week or the entire season for any or all of the categories we make selections in each week.

With Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts coming to town, the Minnesota Vikings have made a move that should allow them to perform much better against the Philadelphia Eagles’ running game than they’ve done against the run early on in this 2025 NFL season.
The team has announced that they have activated linebacker Blake Cashman from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s contest at U.S. Bank Stadium, and he is in line to step back into his starting role in the Minnesota defense.
Cashman hasn’t played since the season opener, as he suffered a hamstring injury while attempting to chase down Bears’...

Between the games against Cincinatti and Pittsburgh, Carson Wentz was sacked nine times. This edition was difficult and took longer to write than I truly wanted it to. There have definitely been some protection issues stemming from an incohesive and injured offensive line for the Minnesota Vikings. I will get to a point where I am compiling data to look at trends throughout the season and pinpoint the most impactful reasons for our pass protection woes. There was a request for pie charts for each play, but unfortunately, I am not there yet. However, I did include visuals for the...

Ready or not the game is upon us. I am hoping that the game is competitive with a Vikings blowout victory being preferable. We still owe the Eagles. I want to see the team come out of the game injury free too. Who are you picking to win?
T.J. Hockenson Delivers Bold Message to Vikings’ Carson Wentz
“I think Carson’s always had an axe for finding the tight end,” Hockenson told reporters on October 16. “I mean, he came into this league with [Zach] Ertz and then had a lot of guys with success...

At our consensus power rankings here at Daily Norseman, the Minnesota Vikings check in at 17.5 among the 32 NFL squads.
One of our panelists has the Vikings ranked as high as 10th in the NFL, while another has them as low as 21st.
While I have you here, I have a thought-provoking — at least, in my opinion — question….
Where do you think the Vikings will land in the power rankings — let’s just say the consensus — if they beat the Philadelphia Eagles at home this weekend?
For the sense of comparison, here’s where the Eagles rank...

We’ve got a Minnesota Vikings game day tomorrow, but first, it’s time for us to get into the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week (and last week). We’ve got a lot to unpack here, so let’s get right to it.
We’ll start with our regular, weekly question about how confident Vikings fans are in the direction of the team. Somehow, during the bye week, a few folks seem to have changed their minds about things.
Of those who responded to our poll, 56% feel that the Vikings are heading in the right direction. That’s down, slightly,...

The Minnesota Vikings return home to the friendly confines of U.S. Bank Stadium for the first time in nearly a month to face a dangerous and desperate Philadelphia Eagles team on Sunday.
Let’s dive into it.

The Viking-Eagles rivalry has been defined by its competitive balance. The teams have met 27 times in the regular season since 1962, with the Vikings holding a 15-12 edge. When you include the playoffs, that flips to a 16-15 Eagles advantage. Let’s not discuss the last playoff game.
More recently, the Eagles have led 6-4 over the last 10...
