Strength of Schedule

The Vikings are expected to have the sixth-hardest NFL schedule base on 2023 win total projections. This means the team will need to work diligently to overcome challenging opponents and secure a spot in the playoffs. With the Detroit Lions showing improvement and the Green Bay Packers remaining a formidable opponent, the NFC North will be highly competitive.

Minnesota Vikings New Challenges

The 2022 season saw the Vikings finish with 13 wins, but their success in one-score games may not carry over to the 2023 season. Facing tough opponents such as the Bengals and Eagles on the road, as well as the 49ers and Chiefs at home, the Vikings will need to rely on their talent and preparation to secure victories.

During the offseason, Minnesota made a few key roster moves, releasing veterans Adam Thielen and Eric Kendricks while re-signing contributors like running back Alexander Mattison and center Garrett Bradbury. The Vikings also took high-upside chances on promising players such as defensive end Marcus Davenport and cornerback Byron Murphy.

Conclusion

The 2023 Minnesota Vikings schedule presents a challenging road to the playoffs, but the team’s talent and offseason moves could be enough to secure a postseason berth. As the NFL prepares to release the full schedule with dates and times, Vikings fans can anticipate a thrilling and action-packed season, with the team battling through tough matchups in pursuit of success.
