Re: 2024 NFL Predictions

Most Vikings predictions here were 3-14 and 5-12. The guys that guessed 5-12 still have a chance to get it right. ;)

Re: A great overlooked passing performance

The NFC East had a very exciting pennant race in 1970. The Cardinals were 8-2-1 and seemingly coasting to the title but then lost their last three to finish an incredibly disappointing 8-5-1.
