Minnesota Vikings predicted regular-season record

2024 predictions

In their first season with new rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy, Sportskeeda's NFL Playoff Predictor expects the Minnesota Vikings to finish with a disappointing 6-11 record. This has them tied with the Chicago Bears for the worst-expected record in the NFC North division.

While the franchise will likely be focused on developing their quarterback prospect, it will be interesting to see how this affects Justin Jefferson. The superstar wide receiver has yet to sign a contract extension, so his future beyond this season could be in question.
