With an expected W-L of 4.1-1.9 the Cowboys are definitely a little overvalued and could regress back towards the mean in the coming weeks. That said, they're also #3 in the NFL in point differential (+59) and margin of victory (9.8 PPG). According to Pro Football Reference's SRS the match up is between the 4th and 7th best teams in the NFL FiveThirtyEight's elo rankings puts the Cowboys as a 0.5 point favorite and gives the Vikings about a 48% chance to win. A game that could loom large in playoff seeding and is about as close to coin flip odds as you will see any given week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc_vikingfan Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 WFT just cut Hopkins. I would take him over Greg joseph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather just stay the course with Joseph. Feel like the semi annual changing kickers mid season thing isn’t working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just ride the year out with Joseph and then decide where to go. There's nothing positive that can come out of having a turnstile at kicker in-season. It just exacerbates the same problems they've had, no consistency...and it's a position that requires patience and consistency. Hopkins may be better historically, but it's not worth it to risk it at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kneejerk reactions to kickers has not served Zimmer well. Ride the storm and see if your ST coach can work some magic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 What if all kickers are cursed when they come to Minnesota? That doesn't seem to be the case for any other position. Just kicker lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Joseph hit a game winner, so it only brought us back to a 5 year curse. But I’m sure somewhere along the line it will pile back on.

Nozizaki Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It was actually a good weekend thus far for the Vikings, who saw their playoff odds rise from 39% to 45%, according to FiveThirtyEight. This is in large part due to the Bears, 49ers, Eagles, WFT, and Panthers all losing. The only outcome that seemingly didn't improve the Vikings' playoff odds was Green Bay winning. I believe the Saints losing tonight would also help the Vikings' wildcard odds, even if only marginally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
