The Minnesota Vikings will finish a bye this weekend and get back to work in Week 7, a date at home with the Detroit Lions.
7 Bold Vikings Predictions for Rest of Season (Fans)
To prepare for that event, we gathered some Vikings fans and asked each individual to offer a bold prediction for the remainder of the 2024 season. Bold predictions are designed to be outlandish and forward-thinking, so think outside the box regarding fansâ responses.
Hereâs what they said.
Question to all: Whatâs your one bold prediction or hot take for the rest of the season? Remember, these are designed to be âout there,â so be as wild as you want. Like âDarnold as MVPâ or âthe Vikings start 12-0â or something like that.
1. Vikings Trade 2025 1st-Rounder
Minnesota Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah addressed the media about the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft from the TCO Performance Center. The Vikings have long-term draft needs at quarterback, cornerback, and interior offensive line.

The Vikings will trade their 2025 1st-Rounder at the trade deadline for a superstar player to boost the Super Bowl odds.

The 2024 Vikings will break the NFL point differential record for a season. The schedule eases up a bit here. They get Hockenson back, and I think the defense only gets better. I also think they make a massive trade on the defensive side to help with that.

Vikes finish 14-3 or better and get the No. 1 seed in the conference. Because the No. 1 seed is so valuable now as thatâs the only bye, the Vikings go to their first Super Bowl in nearly 50 years.
4. Hockenson Hits TD High
