Not to mention, everything except the linebacker corps is strong on the Vikings\u2019 \u201cD\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mon, Oct. 21 @ N.Y. Giants<\/b> The G-Men are known the league over for their fearsome pass rush, but let\u2019s not forget that Minnesota employs DEs Jared Allen and rather underrated Brian Robison.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Oct. 27 GREEN BAY<\/b> The Vikes\u2019 secondary is solid if unspectacular, but they\u2019ll be tested by Aaron Rodgers. It will be strange to see longtime Packer Jennings in the uniform of a bitter rival.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Nov. 3 @ Dallas<\/b> The Cowboys proved last year that their offense is one-dimensional; if they don\u2019t diversify beyond QB Tony Romo, WR Dez Bryant and TE Jason Witten, the Vikings could win this road game.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><b>Thurs, Nov. 7 WASHINGTON<\/b> Peterson is incredible \u2013 it can\u2019t be said enough \u2013 but it would be really nice for the Vikings to have more weapons in the passing game\u2026 starting with their man under center.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Nov. 17 @ Seattle<\/b> The Seahawks have quickly emerged as an NFC powerhouse, not to mention their stadium is like playing in the lion\u2019s den. This shouldn\u2019t be an enjoyable road trip for the Vikings \u2013 especially because there\u2019s Starbucks everywhere now.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Nov. 24 @ Green Bay<\/b> The mercury should be starting to dip low in northern Wisconsin this time of year, as will the collective mood of the Cheese-Heads if the Vikings come into town and pillage a victory.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Dec. 1 CHICAGO<\/b> The Packers look to be the class of the NFC North, but this could be an intrinsic game for wild-card purposes, if everything goes according to forecasts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Dec. 8 @ Baltimore<\/b> Crab cakes and football \u2013 that\u2019s what Maryland does.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Dec. 15 PHILADELPHIA<\/b> With concerns at linebacker and perhaps the secondary, Minnesota must be mindful about a sped-up offense courtesy of new Philly head coach Chip Kelly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Dec. 22 @ Cincinnati<\/b> This should be a good ole fashioned, black-and-blue Midwest thumping. The intriguing thing is that either team could definitely emerge as the victor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sun, Dec. 29 DETROIT<\/b> Minnesota must impose its will on the Lions physically, and there\u2019s no reason why it shouldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<h3>The 2013\/14 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/nfl\/\">NFL futures betting<\/a> season is here in full force!
