And where? And why?
We’ve already learned a bit about the 2025 NFL schedule, with various outlets announcing some of the games they’ll be broadcasting this season and when. The overseas games will be announced on Tuesday morning and we’ll have the full schedule by Wednesday night, but in the meantime, we have a question we want to ask you about our Minnesota Vikings.
There are 14 possible opponents for our favorite football team to face in Week 1 this season. They won’t be facing the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, or the Los Angeles Chargers, as all of their Week 1 matchups have already been announced, but there are still plenty of options.
We want to know which game you think the Vikings will start off with. We’ll be listing all of the potential options in the poll below that will close before the final schedule announcement at 7:00 PM Central on Wednesday night.
Personally, I think there’s one matchup that makes a lot of sense, given the teams involved, and there’s an opportunity to put it on in prime time as well. It’s a rematch of one of the best games of last season, as well as an opportunity for one of the teams to showcase a big offseason signing who used to play for the other side.
Yes, I believe that the Vikings’ Week 1 matchup will be on the West Coast, as the league will send them back to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Sam Darnold-led Seattle Seahawks to open the season. I don’t have sources feeding me this or anything like that. . .it’s just a gut feeling that I have. I’ll even go so far as to predict that it will be the back half of a Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader. How’s that for specificity?
But that’s just one man’s opinion. We want to know what you folks think the opener will be, so feel free to vote in the poll and sound off in the comments until the schedule drops on Wednesday night!
