Here's the best-case scenario for the Vikes according to SI's Peter King. He even beats Cris Carter on this one!

Peter King is normally a complete dumbass, but i pretty much agree w/ those rankings vs those teams, except miami =)

AWZeus must have had "a little talk" with his boy Pete to get him to give the Vikes some love...gotta give a little love to get a little love!
LOL

I don' tknow how the hell he figured out that prediction system.
He has us beating green Bay in December, but if you flip over to the Pack, he has them beating us...

In fact, I couldn't find a team that he predictred a losing record for. SF and NYJ were the closest with 8-8.
I know these are "best case scenarios" but he is really just pulling numbers out of his butt.

I would love to start 4-1, but I think that is a little unrealistic given the schedule we have.

As I have stated, anything less than 9-7 is a failure.
Not sure how he got to 12-4, but, the Vikes will go as far as this high powered defense will take them.

its also a best possible scenario type thing.
so he's saying at best we could do 12-4, at best the packers could do 9-7.

If we beat Carolina week 2, I'll be happy, I just want everyone to see how much of a flop last years game was and how good and underrated this team is and since they're supposed to be the best team in the NFC and most improved. It would give our team great confidence.

Nice preview by King, usually I can't stand the guy but, he did alright there.

Read the article people. It's called best case scenario meaning that if everything possibly went right the whole season, this is likely how we would end up. Notice that in the Best Case green bay will go 9-7 and detroit will go 11-5, both realistically lofty predictions. These are not his real predictions.
