At first glance, it appears to be a tough start to the year - @ Green Bay then Indianapolis followed by Carolina at home.

Although the beginning looks tough, the end looks promising (excluding the Giants at the end the year) - @ Detroit, @ Arizona and hosting the Falcons are three of the Vikes last four games.

The Vikes play two Monday Night games, both on the road. Visiting Green Bay to start the season and at New Orleans in Week 5.

Another interesting thing is that the Vikes shouldn’t see much, if any snow. The Vikes last seven games are: two games in Florida, one game in Arizona three home games and one road dome game. I’m not sure if this is good or bad since the Vikes are good at rushing the football and just as good at stopping the run.
