ORIGINAL: marty I am going to stick with my before season prediction of a loss to Denver, I hoping it will be closer than what I had predicted, I think it was 31-16. I think Manning plays many of his better games early on in seasons, especially at home. Considering the Vikes struggled against Kap, they are likely to struggle on the road even more with Manning. IF Denver has found a good HC, they are a SB contender. I think their previous HC had no balls and would take a knee in a playoff game, and now he's running Chicago into the ground. I'm hoping the Vikes make it closer than that, they might as the defense seems to be playing well, Peterson is running well, and Bridgewater might be due for a better game. Most of the time, at the end of a season, when you look back at teams scores for a season, the scores sort of make sense as to the records of the teams they played, and where the game was played. When there are scores that are a little puzzling, perhaps like the 49ers game, it sometimes get sort of correct in the next week or too, like an underperformance followed by the team over-performing a little bit to sort of balance things out. The Vikes make have made that correction by beating SD handily, and now we're back to about the middle, where the Vikes, a team that is growing, will probably lose on the road to Denver. However, if it's shown by the end of the year that SD really isn't a very good team, and SD only wins a few games, then the correction for SF will take place this week, and the Vikes go in and beat Denver by about 17. John Fox is not a bad coach. He led Carolina to the Superbowl. And they damn near won it. Also took Denver to the Superbowl. He inherited a cluster **** gigantic shitpile of a mess in Chicago. It will take time for him to turn that trainwreck around.
