DR Z Picks the Vikes to Win it All

**Slade** · 06-20-2008, 02:19 PM

I searched & could not find the same topic, so here's the link. Pretty good read, however he picked the 'Aints last year & they finished 7-9. Anyways, its good to see us get some respect.

Eh, don't really know what to think about Dr. Z picking us, guess it doesn't really matter who he picks.

Good article... but ready for August already.

Nice stuff to read about the boys, though. Someone has a feeling...

I like that he picked the Vikings to win, but that's about it.
I usually like Dr. Z's stuff, but whose this 'free agent corner Charlie Gordan?'
I assume he means Charles Gordan who was an undrafted free agent 2 years ago.
You would think he would have done his research on the team that he put himself on the line and predicted to win the super bowl!
You can tell his has some big conitive dissonance after picking them to win the super bowl, as some of his points, I felt were stretches. On a side note, I thought his quotes from 'the coach' were awkwardly placed, as he probably should have used them inside his paragraphs.

If memory serves....Gordan was signed as an undrafted free agent and not drafted.

I think the vikings will be a popular pick among a lot of people, especially if they start out 2-0, then they are gonna be tops in all the power rankings. Lots of good teams though, Patriots, Colts, Giants, Cowboys, Chargers, Steelers and probably a few others have the talent to win it all. Dr.Z did pick the Giants to beat out the Patriots in the superbowl so I have faith in him.
On a side note, if the vikings are in the superbowl do season ticket holders get first crack at tickets? Damn that would be sweet. Where is it this year?

That was a good article to read. It would be a great year if my Cubbies and my Vikiings were to go to the championship

I mean you take a great Defense, I would argue top 5 (actually I would tell you we are the best, but I'm not gonna argue about it), and add the best D Lineman walking the earth, our defense will be immaculate.
