The national media have been very high on the Minnesota Vikings during the offseason. There have been a lot of predictions that have seen the Vikings winning the division and making waves in a weaker NFC.
On the other end of the spectrum is Mike Florio and Pro Football Talk. While most have the Vikings in the top-15, Florio has the Vikings all the way down at 22.

Considering the Vikings finished with the 21st-ranked record in the National Football League last season, the ranking has some merit. What this doesn’t factor in is the massive changes the Vikings have made to change the culture.
The offense and defense have a new scheme that they are working with and the buzz is robust in the building. Seemingly gone are the days of a run-focused, conservative offense and the defense will be aggressive in a similar, yet different fashion.
Needless to say, the Vikings are much too low on this list.
