2010 Vikings Prediction Revisited

Found the below notecard in my desk the other day, it was from a phone call with DTK where I noted a prediction from November 29, 2010 and reads: "DTK predicts that the 4 and 7 Vikings would finish 9 and 7 and make the playoffs" (I have blurred out real names)

At the time of the statement, the Vikings had just beaten the Redskins which DTK apparently thought was "the lighting in a bottle" this squad had been waiting to capture. The very next game, the Purple went on to pound the Bills. Exciting, right? Well, also remember that Brett Favre got hurt on the first series which finally ended his career. This was followed by the Dome roof collapsing the next week (a loss to the Giants on a Monday night in Detroit) followed by a loss to the Bears on Monday night at TCF. Bright spot: The 5 and 9 Vikes took the Eagles behind the woodshed on a Tuesday night to move to 6 and 9 only to ultimately fail at Detroit to finish 6 and 10. Great work, Nostradameus.
