I thought it would be cool if we all predicted the Vikings record for 06, then we could look back at the end of the season and see how we all did. Since there seems to be some packer infestation in this site I thought we could predict their record too.

Vikings 9-7

Pack 7-9

I see the NFC North being very weak this year, especially with 3 teams having new coaches.

Vikings 7-9

Packers 5-11

Thanks for those who are giving the Packers 6-7 wins. With the way parity is in the NFL optimistically I'd like to see the Packers at 8-8 or even 9-7, but just don't see it from what I've watched in preseason.

Vikings - Defense, best in a long time, good scheme.

Offense - Offensive line lots of talent, smart effecient QB that keeps mistakes to a minimum, good to average talent overall at skill positions.

Special teams- Punter Strong leg, I like the return of kicking it out of bounds the way Bud had his punters do it.

kicker- longwell should be more consistant than anybody since Anderson.

Punt and kickoff returners - average.

Coaching- larger staff and better than Tice had.

Schedule- 5 of first 8 games against playoff teams last year, 1 of the last 8 against playoff teams last year.

Bad stuff- so far, no QB behind Johnson good enough or ready yet, no Probowl running back or reciever,in this scheme linebackers are better than last year but no one behind them yet, safteys and corners are good, but top back up Edwards out six weeks with fractured arm and griffin is a rookie.

My head says 9-7 but....

Vikings 10-6

Packers 4-12

Lions 6-10

Bears 11-5

I'm not quite into panic mode yet, as it was the Bears. If I see a similar showing next week, then I may have to revise down from my 5 win prediction. Granted it is only week 1, so there will be plenty of time to gel and hopefully put some wins together by the end of the year.

Here's a good quote from a column on the Packers web site this morning. You guys should get a kick out of it.:

"If Packers defensive coordinator Bob Sanders could shut down opposing offenses the way McCarthy stifled the Packers' offense, this team might go places.

As it stands, the only place Packers can't go — besides the Bears' end zone - is downhill after a 26-0 loss to the defending NFC North champions. "
