1. Kirk Cousins will win the MVP Award

Cousins took a lot of grief for the Vikings’ mediocre 2018 season, but things are going to change for the talented signal caller this year. In fact, he has a great chance to end the season with an NFL MVP Award to his credit.

Obviously, lots of things have to go right for Cousins to win the prestigious honor. Namely, the Vikings need to be one of the best teams in the league. They certainly have the talent to challenge for an NFC title next season.

The ability of guys like Bradbury and Thielen to have big years only adds to the potential of Cousins to put up draw-dropping statistics. It’s not as if he didn’t put up numbers last year. A lot of quarterbacks would be thrilled to throw for 4,298 yards and 30 touchdowns with a completion percentage of over 70%.

This year Cousins will be even better. Look for him to blow past 5,000 yards and cut down his interception rate significantly. If he can do that, he’s going to stand a great chance to pilot the Vikings deep into the playoffs and win an MVP Award for his trophy case.
