How do they think the team will fare?
It’s time to check out our SB Nation Reacts results for this week, ladies and gentlemen. We got some interesting results with our answers to this week’s questions about our Minnesota Vikings, so let’s take a look at what you all are thinking.
First off, we asked what everyone thinks about the direction the team is going in. After a couple of weeks of seeing the confidence numbers drop a little bit, we finally got back up to the level the team has been at for most of the season.
Of those who responded to our poll, 90% of you think that the team is moving in the right direction following their third straight victory this past week. That number had gotten down into the 70s there for a bit, but now that the team is 8-2 and still in the thick of things in the NFC North and the NFC as a whole, the number is going back upwards again.
Speaking of victories, our major question for this week is what you think the team’s record will be over the next four weeks, as they travel to Chicago and then start a three-game homestand against Arizona, Atlanta, and another matchup with the Bears. Folks appear to be pretty optimistic about where the team will be as they head into the Christmas holiday.
Of those who answered our poll questions this week, we did get a majority to agree on one record, as 51% of our respondents think that the Vikings will be 11-3 after the next four games are finished. That means that we’re expecting a 3-1 mark for the Vikings over those four contests. The rest were pretty evenly split, with 24% of our respondents thinking the Vikings will go 2-2 over the next four weeks and 22% believing that the team won’t have another loss over the next four games and get themselves to a 12-2 record. That’s a full 97% of folks who feel the Vikings are going to go .500 or better over the next four weeks, which would be pretty good, I think.
If the Vikings are going to keep the momentum going here, it can start with a win at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon. According to our friends at FanDuel, a lot of people are expecting the Vikings to do just that.
Of those who are putting their money down on this one, a little more than 80% of them feel that the Vikings will do enough to cover the 3.5-point spread that has been established for this one. The Vikings aren’t favored by much, but if they can get it done it will be a nice start for them as they return home in Week 13.
Those are our SB Nation Reacts results for this week, ladies and gentlemen. As always, thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to our poll this week, and we’ll have more questions for you early next week to sound off on.
