Post by: Professoralstad on October 10, 2016, 12:32:57 PM: Well, with all teams now having reached at least the quarter-pole of the season, it looks like my picks for NFC East, NFC South, and AFC East were a bit shortsighted. I still think the Colts have a chance to take the worst division in the NFL, and depending if Palmer can come back healthy, the Cards may not be done (and if they do end up winning it, my MVP/OPOY pick will be a decent pick as well). Steelers seem like a lock, Raiders are going to at least make it a close race with the Broncos, and the Vikings, well..I shouldn't comment because jinxes are totally a thing in the NFL.

Well, there aren't prizes or anything, so feel free to post. It may just not be seen as quite as valid as predictions at this point...

Funny enough, there is a long-standing joke among the personalities at the sports radio station in the Twin Cities that whenever predictions come up, it's "The Vikings and the Falcons in the NFC championship game, and you're on your own after that." Kind of a sarcastic jab at the always optimistic radio announcer for the Vikings making said prediction in 2013 - just before the Vikings finished with a 5-10-1 record, just edging out the Falcons at 4-12. Doesn't seem quite so far-fetched at this point in the season...

Of course, not sure if you were old enough to be a football fan, or a Falcons fan to remember 1999, but needless to say, I would be just fine with the Vikes not having to face the Falcons in the NFC Championship. Especially with our current kicker situation.

Post by: Jonesy on October 11, 2016, 07:34:59 AM: I would have been 8 in 1999, I started watching football around 2001. I have been impressed with the Vikings so far. It is hard to believe that they lost their starting QB, and RB. The defense looks for real, I also wouldn't mind if they take the division away from the packers :P My concern is that Sam Bradford starts turning the ball over because it has not happened so far, and in this league it always happens. I am definitely rooting for a Falcon-Viking NFC championship.

Contrary to popular belief (thank's to ESPN), the Vikings actually are the current NFC North Champions... :P
