I'm always optimistic about the Vikings, but I think there are a few really good reasons to be at the moment. 1) the Vikes almost always play well in Green Bay, and it's very rare for either team to sweep the other in any given season. Also, the Packers' O-line and D-line are a bit banged up while Minny's lines are playing just about as well as they ever have. Dominating the line of scrimage and winning the turnover battle will result in a MN win and begin the roll. The only other tough game left on the schedule is @NYG, and it seems that Peterson does best against highly-rated run defenses. I really think 6-2 in the second half is within reach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-77873365380404888922007-11-09T12:14:00.000-06:002007-11-09T12:14:00.000-06:00Peter:Wow.

Other than that game, the Lions have been inconsistent and should have lost against Minnesota when both teams committed all of those terrible mistakes. Jackson's 5 INTs and Longwell's 6-inch miss won't repeat.<BR/><BR/>The Giants could stumble as well. Their wins so far: @WAS, PHI, NYJ, @ATL, SF, @MIA. Not exactly the most impressive resume. The resut of their schedule isn't brutal, and the Pats might coast at NY in week 17, but still. I think Brand Jacobs gets hurt or slows down, Manning gets flustered, Shockey stirs up trouble, they finish 9-7, Minnesota wins the tie-breaker from the head-to-head victory and Coughlin gets fired in the offseason.<BR/><BR/>GB will most likely take the NFC North, but I see the Vikings at #2 in the division and possibly getting a wilcard spot.<BR/><BR/>My prediction:<BR/><BR/>#1 Cowboys<BR/>#2 Packers<BR/>#3 Saints<BR/>#4 Seahawks<BR/>#5 Buccaneers<BR/>#6 Vikings<BR/><BR/>[[I'd also love to see Derek Anderson come to the team, naturalmevs]]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-60979620940415505702007-11-09T10:18:00.000-06:002007-11-09T10:18:00.000-06:00The Vikings are a top flight young QB away from be...The Vikings are a top flight young QB away from being a playoff team, and an absolute force in this league.

Hopefully, this ESPN report inaccurate, not that I have anyh illusions about the mercenary nature of pro sports teams, but the notion that the commissioner of one of the major sports leagues feeling so confident (or arrogant), that he would plainly assert that billionaire NBA owners demand hundreds of millions in public subsidies before they will stopp to sell their goods, really rubs me the wrong way. It irritates me so much that I'm almost hoping that somebody like Wilf fails in his attempts to gain subsidies in Minnesota, even if it means the Vikings leave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
