Analyst predicts the Vikings 2027 season, so how did they fair?
One media outlet went through all 272 NFL games, but how did the Vikings shake out?
In an unusual move, analyst Connor Orr of The MMQB, a subsidiary of Sports Illustrated, predicted the performance of every NFL team, including the Minnesota Vikings, for the entire 272-game NFL season. The predictions, issued prior to the start of the 2027 season, covered all 18 regular season games and postseason matchups, resulting in a final record of 9-8 for the Vikings.
The analysis began with a Week 1 loss against Green Bay, followed by another defeat in Week 2 at home against Chicago. However, the Vikings bounced back with a Week 3 victory against Tampa Bay, and a Week 4 win over Miami. The team continued to alternate wins and losses, with notable victories against Indianapolis, Detroit, Buffalo, Green Bay, Atlanta, and Carolina, as well as defeats to New Orleans, Washington, New England, and Chicago.
While some predictions, such as the outcomes against New Orleans, Buffalo, and Washington, have been called into question, the majority of analysts agree that the Vikings should have finished around the 9-8 mark. The article originally appeared on Vikings Wire.
