The Vikes go undefeated next year?

ill in the dawg pound next year FOR SURE representing the beloved purple….

Though I’m not sure that Arizona deserves it.

We should definitely, hands down, without a doubt, win at least 9 games next year at the very worst.

We should beat the Lions twice, Bears and Packers at least once each, at least 3 of the NFC West foes (Seahawks will improve), the Browns, and the Bengals. Among the other games (Bears, Packer, Panthers, Seahawks, Giants, Ravens, Steelers), We should win at least 3 games, so my end of the 2008 regular season prediction for the 2009 season is 12-4*.

*This prediction is made prior to any offseason transactions, in the midst of a wildly, unbelievably optimistic mood, and under the influence of many gallons of Purple KoolAid.

Playing the entire NFC West is fantastic. The AFC South has two teams that are embarrassments. I also might go to the Dawg Pound. I’m not too far from Cleveland and have always wanted to see a Browns game in Cleveland.

This schedule does look very weak. A 9-win season is a must. 11-wins is more likely…and 13 or 14 wins is a positive as I want to look at things right now.

But we should make the playoffs next year. :)

That does seem like a weak schedule. Of course things change drastically from year to year…But, it should definitely be better than this year’s.

How the scheduling formula always puts the Giants on our schedule…won’t this be about 5 of the past 6 years now?

They keep doing it because they keep expecting us to lose to them outright.
