Eight and a half wins is the line for Minnesota. After breaking down the schedule, nine wins is the projection. I like the over at -110.The big story is Kyler Murray getting a fresh start. He was not the problem in Arizona, and he does not need to be a superstar here. He just needs to get the ball out quick to an elite group of weapons. Justin Jefferson is a top-three receiver in football. Jordan Addison keeps getting better. Jauan Jennings was a great pickup from the 49ers. That trio is as good as any in the league.

Aaron Jones still has some gas left, and Jordan Mason gives them a solid backup option. The offensive line is the weak link. It is not terrible, but it is not great either. If the line holds up, this offense is dangerous.

On defense, Andrew Van Ginkle is one of the most underrated linebackers in football. Blake Cashman is solid next to him. The unit does not have superstars, but they play tough as a group. They got the job done last year.
