How do you feel about having the same chances to get to the Super Bowl as the Bengals, Lions, Eagles, and Chargers? I'm a bit disappointed, I think that the Bengals and Vikings are getting a little to little respect since they did make the playoffs, and the Eagles don't know who their starting QB will be, Lions are tight against the cap, and Chargers are well, the Chargers which hasn't been a good thing the past few years.

I do not see how the Broncos can be the early favorites to win the Superbowl since Peyton is known for choking in the playoffs |

How are the Vikings, Bengals, Eagles, Lions and Chargers at the same odds, I can see the Vikings but the Bengals?

I see absolutely no issue with the Vikings having the same odds as those teams.
And Sector, while I like your avatar, you need to reduce the size of it. Forum rules indicate that they can only be 80x80.

Sorry about that. I'll work on getting a new one that fits the 80x80. |

I saw a couple of 2014 mock drafts that had us picking #6 overall after next year..which puts us in the 4-5 win season....ridiculous!!1 |

It can happen if there is a bunch of injuries and Ponder starts sucking again |

I expected the Vikings to 3 more wins than last year but this year was a very pleasant surprise going 10-6 and making the playoffs! |

I was guessing about 8-8. We have a tough schedule next year, but I still think that we can at least match, if not imrpove our record next year. If we can get a few free agents and have a nice draft, I don't see why not. |

And the most important thing is to stay healthy all year too |

| I thinks it's a bit of a slap in the face to the Vikings and Bengals, two playoff teams, to be given the same odds as two teams picking in the top 5. But I have always liked being the underdog. |

Its good to know not everyone is counting us out this year.
Our road will come from 3 major things:
1) The progression of Christian Ponder
2) An overall balanced team. We still have holes offensively/defensively
3) Improved coaching. Frazier has a bright future ahead of him. Hopefully he takes it to another level this year.
