Many people are picking the Vikes to reclaim the top of the division like they did when Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss were healthy and gave a darn.
I just do not see Tarvaris Jackson leading any team to the playoffs, and honestly would not be all that surprised to see Gus Frerotte take over midway through the season. Even though it's not like he is a miracle worker either, let's not forget the concussion he gave himself way back when with the Redskins.
Brad Childress may want to take a page out of Urban Meyer’s playbook and go with a two quarterback system (like that would ever work in the NFL).
Now for why this team can win. Adrian Peterson is one of the top three backs in the game and still has a great offensive line leading the way. Also, the Vikings' already great defense got better with the addition of Jared Allen.
Ryan Longwell is pretty much money kicking indoors and if Chris Kluwe could punt better than he plays Guitar Hero (he is the world champion or something ridiculous like that) he will give the other team such bad field position even Jackson will be able to push it in for six.
Final Record: 10-6
3) Detroit Lions
The Lions have a good core of receivers with Calvin Johnson, Roy Williams, and Mike Furrey to go along with Jon Kitna, who has a cannon for an arm. Similar to last season, that will keep Detroit from being a pushover. But like the Bengals, that’s all they will be.
The Lions' “D” looks horrible, as always, and will be like Swiss cheese for opposing teams. On most teams Kevin Smith and Rudi Johnson would cause other teams to worry about the running game, but since Barry Sanders retired so many years ago no Lions running back has shown much success for a whole season.
