I'm guessing when the Super Bowl was set, he picked the Giants over the Patriots. I don't think that's much of an accomplishment, there was plenty of Giants love going into the Super Bowl despite the Patriots having the perfect record and having dominated teams earlier in the season.

Dr. Z... yeah. It's just a prediction. There's some statistics or whatever to back it up from years past I'm sure, but since when did the year before impact what the guys do on the field this year?

Vikings are the trendy pick, just as the Saints were last year. There's so much turnover from year to year, you can see a team go from worst to first in a season. Predictions hold no weight for me and they shouldn't for anyone else. Just a fun thing to do.

I cant see them contending for an SB crown at this point. Too many unknowns, and the biggest is TJ........but i guess we ahve to wait and see

Aren't we suppose to see a steady increase instead of a steady decrease?

From 77 to a peak of 83 and then back to 51%?

Very inconsistent season from beginning to end with a few games with spikes.

The stats posted already show that's not true, and to "see" improvement takes more than watching stats. Like the rest of the world I watched a lot of Vikings games b/c AP is amazing and I really would like to see TJ pan out, but he looks lost as a QB.
