Are the Lions gona be good or giants just terrible? Pretty impressive performance either way in basically every department.

[redarmi]

Think a side with a decent secondary will make it harder for them.  Megatron is borderline impossible to stop totally but some teams will do better than the Giants did which was pretty horrific especially the first TD and I thought they struggled a bit to establish the run and Johnson ain't going to get 164 yards every week so they are going to need production and first downs from their running backs.  Think the jury is out and I would rather be against them next week if the line is inflated off the back of that as it likely will be.

Detroit's own secondary has question marks, too. The Packers games will be interesting. The Lions are talking Superbowl, according to their local press. They'll be reliant on not getting any injuries in their backfield, as they haven't recruited much in that department (a fourth round on a corner and a like for like free agent). With the Bears as well, it might be a tough division to have a weak secondary. Pass rush will help, though.

Giants have a new offensive coordinator and will seemingly take time to settle.

I think a lot of people are seriously underestimating the Vikings in the NFC North. Packers are way to hit and miss for me, have been for the last few seasons. Detroit and Chicago very similar and often poor on the road. Minnesota have 2 good quarter backs this year, a brilliant running game with AP at the helm and some good receivers to help Cassel out. The defence strengthened as a whole in the summer, and although they lost Jared Allen, they could be serious dark horses this year, if not this year then next year i think they will be the strongest side in the NFC north by a margin, with some good acquisitions. The 20/1 to win the conference north is long gone, 8/1 general, and the 125/1 to win the Superbowl now 80/1 best price. Big game sunday at New England will give a big pointer to where they stand for the season, but i expect(biased) another win for Minnesota and to go 2 and 0. Worth a little nibble me thinks still at those prices.

I wrote some suff on the Vkings this weekend

nearly had the double up on first TDs too

I think the Vikings are one of the big improvers this year. For starters the coaching is going to be light years ahead of what it has been, the offense is a lot more balanced

realistically challengers next year to go deep in the play offs but not inconceivable this

Great Article that Rich, if i had seen that on Sunday and was aware of that price I would have been all over it. They were a great price just to win the game in all fairness, and well woth a hefty single IMO. Will keep an eye out for any further reviews from you and Neil on BE.
