The 6-0 Minnesota Vikings are the best team in the NFL if the sole criteria is the record. Pulling off the upset win in Detroit this weekend would help to convince people that Minnesota is more than a mere pretender.

Our panel is back to comment on the Vikings game in Week 8 to offer some predictive clarity.

Consider the collection of questions alongside the correct answers in bold afterwards for Week 7:

  1. Who Wins the Week 7 Game? What’s the Score? — Vikings Snagged the Win 16-10
  2. What’s Your Call on Daniel Jones Sacks if the Over/Under is at 3.5? — Over!
  3. Does Jauan Jennings Clear 50 Yards Receiving? — Close but No Cigar

Now consider the leader board after these guesses and those made earlier in 2026:

  1. Adam New: 12 Points
  2. Brevan Bane: 10 Points
  3. Ali Siddiqui: 10 Points
  4. K. Joudry: 9 Points
  5. Josh Frey: 6 Points

Now go ahead and consider what got put in front of the panel for the Vikings game in Week 8. As always, each correct guess comes with the promise of 1 (fake) point attached:

  1. Who Wins the Game and What’s the Score?
  2. Who Goes for More Receiving Yards: Justin Jefferson or Amon-Ra St. Brown?
  3. Which Rookie Plays the Most Snaps?
