"THE VIKINGS BEAT THE 49ER'S?"
I won a football pool by picking, among others, that the Vikes would beat
the 49ers.  I said in my predictions that the Vikings were going to 
surprise alot of people...this is just a start.  The Vikes were certainly
fortunate that SF coughed up the ball SEVEN times (Vikes covered 5, incl.
Joey Browner with a record 3 recoveries).  The Viking offense needs 
improvement, but they were able to put points on the board when SF gave them
good field position via turnovers and the Vikes kept their turnovers to
a minimum.  The defense bent but didn't break, giving up one TD to the 49ers
in 3 quarters of football.  Statistically, the game was no contest (Total
Yards: SF - ~500, MN - ~250) but turnovers is a statistic too.  Needless
to say, as a Viking fan Sunday made my week, (Maybe my season...I hope not!).
Pick of the Week:  Take the Vikings and the points vs Tampa Bay.
