Minnesota Vikings Season Preview

Brett Favre is gone (for real this time, at least we think) so who plays quarterback for the Vikings? Tavaris Jackson signed with Seattle which left only Joe Webb on the roster from a year ago. Webb showed some flashes in 2010, but his QB rating was just 61 so the team went out and traded for Donovan McNabb. He now becomes the veteran leader at quarterback until 12th overall pick Christian Ponder is ready to go.

AccuScore forecasts Minnesota to finish third in the North with an average of 6.9 wins. The division is competitive, but the addition of McNabb will help and the rest of the team is solid. There is a 14 percent chance at a run at a playoff spot.

The Vikings will probably rely more than ever on running back Adrian Peterson. Percy Harvin emerged as a real weapon a year ago, but he had serious problems staying healthy so the burden will fall to Peterson. The defense was actually very solid ranking in the top 10 against both the run and pass as well as total defense.

Projected Record: 7–9

Probability of Winning Division: 5.5%
