They've had some early luck this year. I've been impressed with B Johnson's game management skills; he doesn't attempt any phenomenal plays but just move the team down the field. Don't figure, in the end, the Vikings have the ability to compete for an NFC Championship but they have a shot for a wildcard slot. BTW, this is bad news for the NFC east who many expected to field both wildcards.
If Grossman performs at anywhere near the level he has the last two weeks I think the Bears will win. Johnson will not last long if he does not get better protection than he did last week. If he doesn't get better blocking against the Bears he may not survive this game. Our defense takes no prisoners.
I would expect to see the wild card come out of the West since Atlanta and Carolina will probably have better record than any of the other Divisional runner ups. Although it may be so balanced that all the teams have a similiar record.
