Odds on NFC Champs

[Jack of Arcades]

Yes, all three of their losses have come on the road. One, at Washington, a strong team - in Kyle Orton's first game as a rookie, and they lost by a matter of all of 2 points. Two, at Cincy - one of the best teams in the league. Three, at Cleveland - back when the team still gave a damn and played reasonably well. Orton's a rookie and makes mistakes, sometimes that'll lead to close games with bad opponents. Yes, they almost lost to NO in LSU. So? Carolina lost to NO in Carolina.

Let me tell you how impressed I am with Minnesota's upsurge. Whooo. Go Vikes, they've beaten two of the worst teams in the league and managed to beat New York without moving the ball.

Sure, Minnesota's better than Detroit and New Orleans. Color me impressed. I can use your logic, too: Chicago dominated Carolina. Carolina dominated Minnesota. Whoo. It's not about that in the NFL. You can't look at a team's worst games and say "look, these guys suck!" Because you can do that for every team.
