Thanks Daws, I definitely respect your opinions and look forward to your picks and analysis during the season.

I'm a huge Vikings fan and think the 9 wins won't be tough to get to. I just cannot find any way barring an injury to Peterson where the Vikings will take a step back. The Packers will be tough, again and obviously Cutler will help out the Bears for a win or two, but Detriot will be Det again. Vikings camp is already brewing about new formations for Harvin, and if Rice/Shiancoe can be more of a redzone presence. The ONLY thing I can think of is the pending suspensions to the Williams Wall. However, if Edwards and Allen can keep the pressure on OTs, Greenway, Leber, and getting back EJ Henderson - I don't see a huge problem there. Madieu Williams barring an injury and Tyrell Johnson getting more games under his belt... it's going to be an exciting year to be a Vikings fan. Enough of the rant - maybe I'm drinking the Purple Koolaid.
