Thread: Finally, some prognosticating sanity

I managed to run across this random prognosticator on Yahoo Sports that actually picked the Vikes as his sleeper pick. I like what he says and with much hope in my purple heart, I look forward to his prediction being fulfilled.

Anyway, I like the Vikings to win the NFC North despite the fact that they've lost a playmaker (Koren Robinson) and a first-round pick (Chad Greenway), and are hanging their hopes on a 38-year-old quarterback (Brad Johnson) and a running back (Chester Taylor) who has yet to prove he can carry the load. For my money, Minnesota has it where it counts – on the offensive and defensive lines, and in a secondary that has a pair of cornerbacks who should be one of the best tandems in the NFC. And after seeing Johnson in person this preseason, I think he's a perfect fit in Brad Childress' scheme. Even second-year wide receiver Troy Williamson looks like he's made some big strides since last season. Another factor in the prediction – Rex Grossman and the Bears' offense hasn't looked much better than what we saw last season. Even the defense seems to be a little flat. I still think the Bears will push for the playoffs, but I like Minnesota to be more consistent on both sides of the ball.

I should've known that "prognosticating" was too big a word. "Hot chicks" or "nude teens" always gets more play.
