Predicting the Vikings post-bye record

Chris Spooner looks ahead at the Vikings’ remaining schedule to predict how the rest of the season will play out.

The Minnesota Vikings are heading into their Week 13 bye on a sour note. The entire season has been a rollercoaster of streaks. The team started off the season losing four of their first five games. Then they managed to reel off five straight wins to recover and get themselves back into the thick of the NFC playoff picture.

Now the team heads into their bye week off the heels of a two-game losing streak, and with major questions at the most important position in the game: the quarterback. Will Josh Dobbs continue to be at the helm for the Vikings when they emerge from the bye week? Will the duties be handed over to Jaren Hall or Nick Mullens?

That singular decision could have a profound impact on how the Vikings finish out the season. Until that decision is officially made, we have to assume that the job is Dobbs’. Given that, let’s take a look at the remainder of the Vikings schedule and try to predict how the rest of the season goes.
