3 Months Ago, ericj69 from Daily Norseman says (in All We Want for Christmas Is...) She's been very naughty, but the Vikings have been nothing but nice this year.

Prediction: Vikings 34, Panthers 13

Packers over STEELERS: I wish the defending champions hadn't completely folded down the stretch so they would actually beat the Packers here.

6 Months Ago, ericj69 from Daily Norseman says (in Get Ready for the Biggest Most Important Game Ever of All Time Ever.
