Time for another round of completed predictions!
Correct
Drank Davenport will play in 8 or less games
Drank Davenport will end the year on IR
idavike By the end of the 2023 season, the Houston Texans will have more wins than the Vikings.
Danchat Ivan Pace Jr will lead all Vikings LBs in PFF rating, given a minimum of 200 snaps
tfundermann Danielle Hunter will play in all 17 games and record at least 13 sacks in 2023.
diehardtwinsfan The Vikings defense will also improve from last year which really isn't saying much, though I don't expect them to be ranked above 20
diehardtwinsfan The Lions will win the NFC North in 2023
Danchat Alexander Mattison will go under 875 rushing yards
Danchat KJ Osborn's Y/RR (yards per route run) will not exceed that of his 2021 season, which was 1.3.
comet52 Bears and Patriots both under 7.5 wins
This got close, but a good parlay here. Kudos to those who recognized the Patriots were going to suuuuuck.
Danchat The Vikings 5th AND 6th WR will not make any impact - less than 10 catches or 120 yards
Danchat The Steelers win 10+ games.
Just narrowly!
whoskmoon Hunter has his best season as a pro.
I'm giving this one to you, as Hunter hit a career high 16.5 sacks and was a beast against the run. You can make an argument he had a better year under Zimmer, but he had so little surrounding him and wasn't flanked by a stud like Griffen, making it all the more impressive.
Drank Hunter finishes with exactly 16.5 sacks in the regular season
No way! You nailed it!!!!!!! You somehow predicted that Hunter would exactly record 6.5 sacks over the final 8 games. For this statistical anomaly, you have hit the second Home Run on the year in this contest.
Wrong
tfundermann Jaren Hall will start at least 3 more games the rest of the season and win at least 2 of them.
idavike Seattle will win the NFC West division in 2023
Danchat The Cardinals will finish with the worst record, or tied for it.
Danchat The Falcons will win the AFC South.
Danchat A RB will make a start at some point who is not currently on the roster (Akers/Gaskin)
I think this would have made it if Akers wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Funkytown Addison will be named AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Danchat Jordan Addison has the most receiving yards for any rookie WR
I failed to foresee the rise of the almighty Puka Nacua!
tfundermann Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins, Jags win the 4 AFC divisions
tfundermann Chiefs vs Bengals in the AFCCG (Round 3, FIGHT!)
OdinHammer The Packers' 1st rounder will be a bust but they'll find some value in later rounds
I can't in good faith call Jordan Love a bust, so this 2020 pick comes off the board wrong.
Funkytown Spielman nails this draft. We will look back on it fondly, comparing it to 2015.
Another 2020 prediction, but it is wrong as Justin Jefferson, Metellus, and Osborn are all that is left (as starters) from the class. Gladney busting made the comparison to 2015 rocky, and Cleveland being shipped off for a 6th round pick hurts it as well. The 2020 class is a good one but it not the home run class like 2015.
VikingsBoss The Minnesota Vikings will score 425, or more, points in 2023.
VikingsBoss The Minnesota Vikings will have a Top 5 scoring AND yardage offense in 2023.
diehardtwinsfan The Vikings offense will improve from last year in terms of points per game as well as over all points rank
tfundermann Vikings offense (points scored) will rank in the top 7.
Hahahaha no.
VikingsBoss The 2023 Minnesota Vikings will rush for AT LEAST 1662 yards in 2023...that would be one more than they managed with Dalvin Cook in 2022.
skolvikes Alexander Mattison is not Minnesota's leading rusher at the end of the season.
whoskmoon Dalvin Cook has a YPA higher than Mattison's
idavike RB A Mattison will have 1200+ all purpose yards by season's end.
tfundermann The Vikings total rushing yards in the regular season will surpass the 1700 yard mark (was 1661 in 2022).
The Mattison predictions... nope, our run game is not better than it was last year. But Cook stinks this year too!
HunterMorrow KJ Osborn has more receptions and yards than last season, but Addison still has more receptions and yards than Osborn.
Yet another Osborn "bull" prediction fails. Nothing but disappointment from him since a great 2021 campaign.
Minniman Prediction: The Vikings will play the Detroit Lions thrice in four weeks including the Wild Card game.
This was still somehow possible the final week.
Danchat Kene Nwangwu will have exactly 1 KR TD this year (includes postseason)
Danchat Russell Wilson will have a passer rating that is exactly between his Broncos 2022 campaign (84.4) and his 'worst' season in Seattle (92.6).
More to come!
