Well, it's starting to get even a little more real as the predictions for the 2017 NFL playoffs are rolling in and would you look at what Sports Illustrated just put out...
So this is Peter King's bracket and he has the Vikings winning the Super Bowl at home, here's his write up...
Vikings 27, Patriots 23: Finally, it happens. Home-field won’t matter as much in this historic Super Bowl as will the best single unit in the 12-team playoffs: Minnesota’s defense. Imagine Case Keenum, the Vikes’ third option at quarterback entering the season, beating Tom Brady in a Super Bowl, and beating him in the Vikings’ backyard. Man, what a strange trip this season has been.
Of the rest of the MMQB/SI writers 4 total chose the Vikings, 4 chose the Patriots and 3 chose the Steelers. Back that up to the NFC championship and 10 of the 11 chose the Vikings.
In other news Peter King, Tim Rohan, Andrew Brandt and Kalyn Kahler are my new favorite writers! 😉
