In the sports world, rolling out an over/under is synonymous with gambling. As Austin Powers once said, this sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby. No gambling guesses being made here.
Nevertheless, consider over/under a helpful way of framing some Vikings statistical guesses. Doing some predictions here is based on what was seen at the Vikings v. Ravens joint practices. Consider the five guesses below. Scroll through to see if you agree.
Vikings Statistics — 5 Over/Under GuessesVikings Statistic No. 1 — Blake Cashman’s Sacks at 5.5

On social media, Alec Lewis (The Athletic) offered a quick word on Cashman, writing, “For some reason, Blake Cashman tends to fly under the radar. But just thinking about camp and reviewing the notes from Vikings joint practices with the Ravens, the LB was and has been just exceptional.” Cashman sets a new career high with 6 sacks.
Over/Under Prediction: OVER
Vikings Statistic No. 2 — Dallas Turner at 11.5 Sacks
Dec 25, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner (15) celebrates after a play as Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (16) reacts in the second half at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Matt Krohn-Imagn ImagesSurpassing 12 sacks is tough. Last year, Dallas Turner led the Vikings with 8 sacks, so bumping him up by a mere 4 appears quite plausible to lots of people. Many foresee a third-year breakout and greater opportunity due to the departure of Jonathan Greenard. I think he does well and generates pressure aplenty, but put me at 10 sacks instead of 12+.
Over/Under Prediction: UNDER
Vikings Statistic No. 3 — James Pierre at 2.5 INTs
Aug 15, 2026; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (3) is tackled by Minnesota Vikings safety Jacob Thomas (39) and cornerback James Pierre (23) during the first half at MetLife Stadium.

He even stole a pass out of the sky from Lamar Jackson, who is his cousin. James Pierre has 4 INTs in his career but is in a good position for a nice workload and within a defense that’s going to generate pressure. Put me at 2 INTs despite being optimistic about what he’s going to offer.
Over/Under Prediction: UNDER
Vikings Statistic No. 4 — Jordan Mason at 999.5 Rushing Yards
Dec 7, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (27) rushes the ball against the Washington Commanders during the second half at U.S. Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn ImagesPicture a play where the Vikings put Justin Jefferson on the right side, prompting the defense to put its best corner over there while tasking the free safety with stepping in the WR1’s direction. The ball is snapped and Jordan Mason takes a run to the left side. Christian Darrisaw and Donovan Jackson absolutely maul their man/men. Josh Oliver sends a defender into orbit. Jauan Jennings bullies a corner into the sideline and Max Bredeson wallops a veteran safety. Can Jordan Mason then gallop for yards?
Over/Under Prediction: OVER
Vikings Statistic No. 5 — Justin Jefferson at 99.5 Catches
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson points across the field after a play against the Green Bay Packers during Week 18 action at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Jan. 4, 2026, as Jefferson reacted during game highlights from the 2025 NFL season finale between the longtime NFC North rivals in a late regular-season showdown. Mandatory Credit: YouTube.Kyler Murray is still figuring out the chemistry component of things. There are then concerns about health, or lack thereof. Will the QB1 spot be sturdy enough to get Justin Jefferson to where Justin Jefferson should be? I think he’s sitting at 100 catches, 1,500 yards, and 8 touchdowns by the end of the season.
Over/Under Prediction: OVER
