Chris Brockman Will Do WHAT If the Minnesota Vikings Go 14-3?!?!

A caller named Tanner walked through every Minnesota Vikings game on the schedule, predicted 14-3, and Chris Brockman volunteered to eat a hat on national television.

Now there are witnesses.

Tanner kicked off the show's NFL Win-Loss Game with the Vikings, and his prediction looked reasonable until late. Open week 1 at home against the Packers. Win. Close loss at Chicago. Wins at Tampa, at home against the Dolphins, at New Orleans. A bye in Week 6. The quarterback question got the only sideways answer.

"The start of the year will be Kyler Murray," Tanner said. "To start the year, but to finish the year, we're getting there."

The wins kept stacking. Home over the Colts. At Detroit. The Bills on Monday Night Football. Tanner finally exhaled with a loss at Green Bay in Week 10 and a close loss to the 49ers in Mexico City in Week 11.

From there, Tanner went undefeated. Falcons, Panthers, Patriots on Thursday, Lions, Commanders, Jets, Bears. Final tally on the air: 14-3.

That is where Brockman lost his composure.

"If the Vikings go 14 and 3, I will eat Del Tufo's hat," Brockman said. "I would eat that."

The room caught it instantly. He has done it before, and the cast was not letting him off the hook.

"Witnesses," Chris said.

The terms got negotiated in real time. If the Vikings win 14 or more regular season games, both Tom and Brockman will share Del Tufo's LA Dodgers hat. Make a sandwich. Split it. The cast wants the clip on X.

Brockman tried to walk it back the moment the words were out of his mouth.

"I just say dumb things confidently," Brockman said. "Sorry, folks."

Pelissero pressed him on the math. Kevin O'Connell has a 13-win season and a 14-win season in his four years. Brockman acknowledged that two years ago the Vikings won 14 games with Sam Darnold. The 50-to-1 Super Bowl odds were quickly pulled up.

The future-vision case for Minnesota is on the table. Tom and Brockman now have a future-vision sandwich to eat if it gets there.
