Well, **Rysdad** , you will have the benefit of knowing the outcome _before_ you read the predictions. That should be good for a few laughs as you read them.

Here’s another jinx for your Vikings. For the 1997-1998 season, my fantasy football quarterback was John Elway, the Broncos won the Superbowl. In 1998-1999, I had Chris Chandler, the Falcons made it to the superbowl. In 1999-2000, I had Kurt Warner, the Rams won the Superbowl. This year, I have Daunte Culpepper.

If that and Tom Jackson’s quote above aren’t like the jinx of a commentator making a statement like “he’s never missed a feild goal from this distance” just before the kicker shanks one, I don’t what is.
