Hot Take: The Vikings can beat the Packers for the NFCN Title

This will be the hottest take of the week. After the Vikings go into San Francisco and win, it’s going to look like they can dethrone the Packers in the NFC North.

Perhaps they can.

It’s going to be important not to overreact to the early success the Vikings have, but I think this is one of the most intriguing teams in the league so you need to stay up late to watch them play.

Plus, Adrian Peterson is coming back.
