One of the most important question points for the minnesota Vikings entering the 2025 season is the way JJ McCarthy will play. Based on certain data on opponents of the Vikings calendar in 2025 recently shared, McCarthy will have many opportunities to prove its value for the team next season.
Last season was memorable for the Vikings. Although he did not have McCarthy for the season with a torn meniscus, Sam Darnold led Minnesota to a file of 14-3 and an appearance in the playoffs. It all ended horribly because the Vikings were exploded with the Rams of Los Angeles 27-9.
The offseason has passed with around 300 million dollars spent for free agents and five players selected in the recovery of the NFL 2025. All that must be determined is when the Vikings play their 17 opponents during the 2025 season.
Despite all the persistent questions about the specific positions of the list, such as the quarter-arre, the Minnesota faces a turbulent calendar 2025 which will be published on May 14.
How much will the Minnesota Vikings 2025 calendar be difficult?
The founder of Sharp Football Analysis, Warren Sharp, recently shared certain data behind the highlights of schedules for the 32 NFL teams in the next 2025 season.
The Vikings are not so lucky with whom they are confronted next season, because they have the hardest calendar in the league, according to Sharp data. This is based on the total victories projected in 2025 of each of the minnesota calendar teams, according to Vegas. Last season, the Vikings had the calendar the 15th the hardest before week 1.
Of the 14 teams that the Vikings will play, seven of them should have 9.5 or more victories during the 2025 season.
Minnesota’s home schedule will be the most difficult that the franchise has had for some time. The Falcons of Atlanta and the Bears of Chicago are the only home opponents who are not planned to have a record of victories.
Here is how each of the Vikings at home opponents represent projected victories totals, according to Sharp data.
- Chicago Bears (7.5 wins)
- Detroit Lions (10.5 wins)
- Green Bay Packers (9.5 wins)
- Philadelphia Eagles (11.5 victories)
- Washington commanders (9.5 victories)
- Baltimore Ravens (11.5 wins)
- Cincinnati Bengals (9.5 wins)
- Atlanta Falcons (7.5 wins)
The Minnesota road schedule is more favorable, because Los Angeles loaders are the only non -division opponent who should have a record for victories in 2025.
You will find below how Vikings opponents in 2025 project with victories totals, according to Sharp data.
- Chicago Bears (7.5 wins)
- Detroit Lions (10.5 wins)
- Green Bay Packers (9.5 wins)
- Dallas Cowboys (7.5 wins)
- New York Giants (5.5 wins)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (8.5 wins)
- Cleveland Browns (5.5 wins)
- Seattle Seahawks (7.5 wins)
- Los Angeles Loaders (9.5 wins)
The bad news for the Vikings is that they should win only 8.5 games this season, which would put them in the middle of the peloton. Only Bears have a total of victories in 2025 expected lower than Minnesota in NFC North.
The Minnesota calendar in 2025 is difficult, especially with its home matches, and it will certainly test McCarthy early to see if it can manage the pressure to beat the best teams in the League.
