Yeah, I heard about the winter this year. Good old Midwest winter, you never know what to expect!

We are in the middle of a blizzard right now as well, after having one last for 2 1/2 days last week. Spring my purple rear end.

I think there will be one more game in the Dome after the Detroit game... maybe more :)

At least it's a road game for them anyway. But yes, it's tough for both teams, just worse for the Vikes because they essentially lose a home game, while the steelers exchange a road game for a neutral site game.

London will essentially be a Steelers home game. Their fan base is huge and on a global basis...we are nowhere as near them.

Week 1: @ Lions - the MVP rips it up week 1. Vikings win 27-17
Weak 2: @ Bears - Hiccups per usual at Soldier Field. Vikings lose 24-13
Week 3: vs Browns - Ponder struggles and rides AP but manages to hit Jennings for his first TD of the year to "dagger" it. Win 27-17
Week 4: vs Stealers <----- love the typo. haha. AP shines in London for the 2nd consecutive week and we sneak away with a W. 17-14
Week 5: BYE
Week 6: vs Panthers - Newton shreds us apart. Defense has no answer and offense is minimal. Lose 28-13
Week 7: @ Giants **Monday Night Football** - Vikings surprising win after nobody expects it. Ponder has the rushing game of his life. 31-17
Week 8: vs Packers **Sunday Night Football** - Tons of momentum going into this. Jennings torches GB and Vikings escape 35-31
Week 9: @ Cowboys - Adrian returns to Texas where Romo, for some reason, has an insane game. Vikings lose 27-21
Week 10: vs Redskins **Thursday Night Football** - Nobody predicting us to win or stop RG3. AP shreds WAS apart and goes for 200+ in a 26-21 win
Week 11: @ Seahawks - Competitive game but Harvin is too much to handle. Winfield oddly enough doesn't play b/c injury. Lose 34-21
Week 12: @ Packers - Cold game. Couple of Walsh misses cost us the game and AP has OK game. Lose 23-10
Week 13: vs Bears - Bears are hot and Marshall is coming off an insane week. Cutler makes too many mistakes in a close Vikings 14-10 win
Week 14: @ Ravens - Vikings surprise everyone and rattle the cage of Joe Flacco and the Oline gives Ponder great protection in a 27-13 win
Week 15: vs Eagles - Vick is Vick and Jared Allen returns fumble for a TD to ice the game in overtime. Vikings win 26-20
Week 16: @ Bengals - AJ Green and Dalton are too much. Green scores 3 TDs in a much needed Bengals win. Vikings lose 31-20
Week 17: vs Lions - Last game in the dome is a must win for the Vikings. AP, once again, shreds DET for 200 and 2 scores. Win 41-28

10-6
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.

The schedule looks pretty crucial. The Vikes will definitely have to take care of business this year if they want to make the playoffs. I'd say it's still too early to make predictions. People forget that draft picks and injuries down the road play a role into record as well. I don't want to toot my own horn yet so Im going to wait with the predictions.

It is definitely going to be a tough schedule. Hopefully I get to see two games this year. One in Seattle where my cousin has season tickets and one to visit the folks around Christmas time to close out the Dome. But flexing that game to a possible night time when I want to fly to Chicago to hang with friends and hang out in the old haunts for the few days surrounding New Year's could cause some problems:/
