Seems a little weird, no?

You wouldn’t think that a team that won 14 games last season would be an underdog to anyone to start a new season, let alone to a team that finished last in their division. However, this is the situation that the Minnesota Vikings find themselves in as it pertains to the very, very early Week 1 odds now that the 2025 NFL schedule is out.

The folks at FanDuel have released their odds for the first week of the season, and they show the Vikings as being a 1.5-point underdog to the Chicago Bears for...

The whole thing is right here

We finally have the entire Minnesota Vikings 2025 schedule for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of the National Football League.

Without any further ado, here it is!

The Vikings are supposed to have eight home games and nine road games this year, but two of those road games are now neutral-site games because they’ll be played in Europe. The Vikings are now set to be the first team in NFL history to play back-to-back games in different countries.

You can see that, because of those overseas contests, the Vikings will have a very early bye...

And the whole draft class is signed!

While we pass these last few minutes ahead of the release of the 2025 NFL Schedule, we’ve got a bit of good news for fans of the Minnesota Vikings.

NFL insider Aaron Wilson is reporting that the first player the purple selected in last month’s NFL Draft, Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, has officially signed his rookie contact. The team’s other four picks signed their deals before the start of last week’s rookie mini-camp, so Jackson’s signing means that the entire class has officially put pen to paper.

As Wilson details, Jackson’s...

Yes, again

Last season, the Minnesota Vikings played their lone Thursday night contest at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and it went. . .poorly. So, the National Football League has apparently decided they’d like to see them do it again.

Several sources on social media are reporting that the Vikings will once again be heading to the West Coast on a Thursday night, this time to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The matchup is set for Week 8, according to those reports.

Barring an injury, this matchup will see Chargers’ head coach Jim Harbaugh and his squad in a...

If you do not believe then you’ve already lost!

The Vikings do have a rock solid roster with maybe some quibbles at the cornerback position, the safety opposite Hitman, the left guard position, and some other depth spots (WR3, TE3, RB3, LB3. Overall though, it is hard to come up with a reason why they should not be in the mix to go to the big dance. It is going to come down to how well JJ McCarthy can navigate this season. He has the experience in college of high pressure environments so that is going to help.

One beautiful...

And where? And why?

We’ve already learned a bit about the 2025 NFL schedule, with various outlets announcing some of the games they’ll be broadcasting this season and when. The overseas games will be announced on Tuesday morning and we’ll have the full schedule by Wednesday night, but in the meantime, we have a question we want to ask you about our Minnesota Vikings.

There are 14 possible opponents for our favorite football team to face in Week 1 this season. They won’t be facing the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, or the Los Angeles Chargers, as all of their...

There are only so many chances one has in life to “cement” their legacy, as evidenced by Michael Scott at Dunder Mifflin, Scranton branch. So, grab your plastic wrap and bendy straw, and get ready to dive face first into 2025!

In my previous pieces, Season of Gratitude and Maulers and Stalwarts, I challenged readers with a call to action regarding two units of the 2025 Minnesota Vikings: our running back duo and defensive line. What should we call them? More specifically, what do you want me to call them in my articles? These nicknames start somewhere, so who knows,...

Could it actually happen?

As it stands now, the Minnesota Vikings are slated as a road opponent for three teams who will be playing games overseas during the 2025 season. While one of those has been taken off the table with the league announcing the first two games of the season on Monday morning, it sounds like the purple could be making an extended trip overseas early in the season.

One of the two games the NFL announced on Monday morning was that the Los Angeles Chargers will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in Week...

The full schedule is set to be released on Wednesday, 14 May, at 7:00 PM Central time on the NFL Network, with select games being released in the two days leading up to the full release. There will undoubtedly be numerous leaks and rumors ahead of that, which is the purpose of what we’re doing right here.

Since this is an odd-numbered year, the Vikings...
