Taan, my man... Farty Snotandslimer will not be taking his team to the Superbowl.



Vikings are my sleeper team this year. Did you happen to catch Adrian Peterson's NFL (even though it's still preseason) debut?


He looks DAMN good. I think he broke for 45 yards or something on his first carry, and looked equally impressive after that during his limited preseason action.

The defense is strong, they have an excellent running back tandem that's never gonna have a problem moving the ball downfield, and their qb situation isn't as bad as people let on.

As long as they have Jackson throwing short passes (and every once in a while a mid range pass) there's no reason they won't go deep into the playoffs. That's exactly what the Steelers did a couple years ago with Roethlisberger, and they won it all. Keep in mind, the Steelers didn't start to suck until they thought that Roethlisberger was a good enough qb to carry their offense (and we all know what happened then)

Vikings have a much better running game than the Steelers did then, incredibly underrated defense, and the NFC is wide open.

It's worth 10 bucks on Minnesota to win the conference, because I'm sure the odds are more than favorable towards the Vikings.
